100 Lbs Lost, Tons of Confidence Gained

Hey there everyone! My names Jenna, Im 17 years old, and Im from Long Island, New York. I have recently hit my all time extreme weight of 220 lbs. I dont know how Ive let myself reach this state of weight gain. But its happened and now I have to fix my mistakes. My weight has been an issue ever since I was a kid. I have to say that I started to gain weight around the 5th grade when my Granny became ill. After she died I began to eat my feelings away. This problem and slue of other family issues led me to suffocate my emotions with food. I am so tired of looking in the mirror and being disgusted with what I have done to myself. Because the girl that Im portraying on the outside isnt really me on the inside. Im fun-loving and outgoing. Laughing is my hobby and singing is my passion. But these and many other qualities are masked by my weight. So I have decided to start this journey of self discovery and self healing. I would love to not be alone on this journey, so please if anyone has anything that they would like to share with me, please dont hesitate to contact me.
