in Introduce Yourself
Hey,

I'm a newbie to this site, but definitely not a newbie to weight issues.
I am a 22 year old student. I am starting a Masters program in a university located in a different city this September. My life will be changing a lot soon, for the better I hope, and I intend to start it well, fresh, and healthier.

As mentioned in the name of this thread, I dont want to be the girl with pretty face anymore. That line has become incredibly depressing to hear.

I've tried dieting for certain occasions, and for other people, but finally I am at the point where it is for myself... my health, my body, my anxieties. Its go time.

Some of the stories on here are incredibly inspiring.. I hope my story will be as well.

Thats my rant.. thanks for listening :blushing:

    You can do it and when you do, don't put it back on. Just start a new chapter in your life with grad school, meeting new friends and losing your weight.:smile:
