in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! So I am terrified to start this journey because its one that I have been putting off for a long time. I am not your typical "fat" girl and many disagree with me when I say that I feel that way, but at 190 pounds (omg, I just actually admitted that number!) I feel terrible. I am a really outgoing person and I struggle to acknowledge that my weight is climbing up again. I lost about 30 pounds three years ago and was back to "happy me" but over time it has found its way back. I am really hoping that this process can be therapeutic for me and would love to have some support as well as offer it to others. Here goes nothing....

    Thanks ladies! It is amazing how instantly comforting it can be to know that you're not in it alone.
