Newbie in need of support and advice!

Hi all!

My name is Julia and I am 23 years old and I have been overweight all of my life. I am more than ready to put the insecurity and self -loathing behind me. This is really my first serious attempt to get healthy and I could really use some support, advice, or just kind words along the way! I would really appreciate any help that you may be able to give me!

Thank you so much!
