Time To Introduce Myself

I’m about half a month into this, but never bothered to do an introduction so here goes. I’m a 23 year old senior in college. I’ve been overweight and obese since I was about 11 years old. I was a very skinny and active kid even though I spent a lot of time sick. (allergy and asthma related) I am an LGBT individual and have been out for 3 years. I include that for a few reasons. 1) I don’t relate well to men especially on such a subject like weight-loss. 2) I don’t want to creep any of the women on the website out. 3) It relates directly to my weight issues. The person I project has never been who I really am on the inside. I spent years deceiving people into believing I was something I wasn’t. I may be morbidly obese, but I’m active. My mind is willing but the body really isn’t anymore. I want to hike, whitewater raft, ride roller coasters, zip line, dance in clubs, and be valued for the quality of my work other than be looked down upon as lazy, worthless, and stupid. It’s honestly ruining my life. I’ve already had one intestinal infarction when I was 17, my best years have been spent obese, and I can’t honestly expect to live long into my 30s like this. Through it all, I’m giving it a last hurrah and trying to keep a positive attitude.
