Hello! Everyone see's me as the outgoing fat friend. Ugh. I hate that. I am a social butterfly and I want to feel like a butterfly! I am 22 years old and about 200 lbs. I haven't loved myself in years... I want to again. So here starts my journey into the unknown. I never used to have to watch what I ate or exercise. But, times have changed and so has my body. I know I can do this, I just need a lot of encouragement.

    I can totally relate :) I never see myself for what I really am. Smart, pretty, fun.. I'm always concerned with how something makes me look... which in my opinion is never good. But I started this a few weeks ago and by actually watching what I'm putting into my body and keeping track of all of it, its really given me a sense of discipline. I've lost 11 pounds already. So just set yourself up with mini goals and when that one is met, set another. :D Don't worry lady, you're going to be fine. :D We're all in this together.
