New to myfitnesspal

Hello everyone! So one of my facebook friends is currently a member of myfitnesspal and I have been reading about her progress daily thinking "Hey, that could be me!" So here I am, hoping that this week I might have the courage to actually make a change. I'm truly depressed and saddened by what I have become. I can honestly say that I do let my weight define me. I am less outgoing, I don't enjoy many of the activities I used to, I feel left out by my skinny friends (not intentionaly). I hate being the fat girl and I'm ready to change and take control of my life. Step one .... I've created my profile and tomorrow I will begin logging my calorie intake and exercise journal. Looking forward to talking w/ many of you, wish me luck and best wishes to all of you as well.
