hello, new member here.

hi, my name is Doris. i'm 18 years old. i have been struggling to lose weight since 2009. i'm currently attending university as a sophomore. and i want to achieve my goal before i finish college.
i want to lose weight because i want to spend my remaining teenage years in full bliss and happiness. and i believe that me being overweight is really getting in the way of reaching my goal.
i'm also sick of the times that when we go to the beach i end up not enjoying the ocean and the sand because i feel sick and disgusted of the idea of going out in the open looking like a whale. and also every time we go for a trip i always end up feeling depressed because of how i feel about myself.
to tell you the truth, i even think i have some sort of depression because of this.
and it really just sucks being fat, you know.
i don't want to be the fat friend anymore.

since i'm new here, i need new friends. ) feel free to add me.
thanks.
