New to the website and looking for friends =]

Hello, My name is Katie and I thought that I should take advantage of the great community that I've heard this website has! If I get to know other people on here I feel like it will help keep me in check and motivated. I'd also love to help anyone else who struggles with the same problems!

I have dealt with weight problems since middle school, eating too much because of depression and then becoming anorexic a few years after in high school. Since then I've adopted some of my old habits and i'm overweight again now with numbers that fluctuate as I get inspired to loose weight or give up . now that i'm more educated in nutrition I have learned that what I've been doing is really unhealthy and that it is possible to have your dream body if you're willing to work for it! I want to stay inspired so I am able to develop long term healthy habits and I'm so excited to see some real progress and fit into some of my old clothes except with a healthy body this time around!!!

I really hope to get to be close with some people on this site and to help keep motivated as well as share our progress! I'd love a message or reply from anyone that can relate to my story, wants an motivation buddy, or just for some fun chit-chat! hope to speak to some of you soon!!! =]
