I am new too

Hi everyone. I'm Tugba, I just turned 17 today and decided to once and for all change my life for the (better). I love food, I eat, eat, and eat. For a while now I was scared to give up the foods I love because I was scared to develop an eating disorder but now I'm fed up with letting the fear get in the way of what I Want to be. I don't want to lose weight for the heck of it, I want to lose weight so I can gain confidence.. I start these all the time, and end up failing as usual but this time something feels different, this time I actually want to give this calorie counting a chance.. I feel so blessed to have others like me that are very supportive. Thank you all.
