My name is Sofie. I'm 31 years old and I have struggled with my weight all my life. My brother and I are the only members of the family who are overweight. I constantly see my room mate eating junk and bringing it in the house which is a huge struggle. Once I reached a size 24, I pretty much gave up and just gave in to all the junk and quit making any kind of effort to control my weight.

Recently, my brother was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes which was a big wake up call for me as well. I visited the doctor and was shocked when the scale read 320 while I'm only 5'3. I'm embarrassed and disappointed with myself that I let it get to this point. Surgery isn't an option since I have no insurance. So, I am determined to make this work the natural way.

I could definitely use friends, encouragement, and good vibes!
