in Introduce Yourself
Recently got back into the groove of MFP, trying to get my life on the right track to become the best me.That being said:

Hi! I'm Julia!

I not only just moved to Florida of all places but I was accepted to nursing school and will start in April. I am so excited to finally be living my dream of becoming a nurse but I really feel that at the size I am I won't be taken seriously as a chubby person. I have started and stopped my weight loss journey but this time it really hit home, I finally saw that my weight is effecting more than just my looks it can also make my journey in school harder and the job its self harder.. I want/need a change and I'm on my way to do it..

I have a lot of weight to lose and I know it's going to be hard and it's not going to come off over night but you know I'm up for the fight!

Any tips, encouragement and friends are welcomed!

    I am in Florida too, Daytona. I have not set my goal as far out as I should have, I will have so much more to lose.

    Congrats on making it into nursing school! I have 2 friends that finished (maile & female) and they seem quite happy living their dreams :) Don't let your weight get in the way of your dreams, you can definitely take control of it!

    Sending an FR your way :) (I also have quite a bit to lose: 80-100#)
