in Introduce Yourself
Never in my life have I been "skinny." You know, like all those girls you envy in the locker room who can actually FULLY wrap one of those dinky, tiny bath towels the school provides? I have always been a plus-sized girl. All the women in my family have. But one can one use the definition of plus-sized, or curvy, for so long. I am past that point (despite what my SN says).

I believe I have a serious eating problem. I can be so on track and then just find myself wondering the kitchen with my head in the fridge wondering how I got there. I need help staying on track and myfitnesspal really seems to help. But talking to people also helps. It is hard to talk to my friends because they're all skinny! My college roommate would eat junk food 24/7 and not gain a pound. JEALOUS.

I know I cannot keep eating the way I have been and feel happy in my own skin. It is time for a change. I am really going to stick with it this time and would like some support. What to you say internet strangers? Time to lay off the cookies (bad internet joke) and loose some weight!

Feel free to add me as a friend if you are serious about losing weight! :)

    Welcome!

    I think you're describing me. Haha. I've always been a 'big boned' girl and I am in desperate need of getting my weight under control. It can be tough but I will do it!

    I sent you a request.

    I think most of us feel that way...

    I grew up in the same household pretty much... plus sized women run amuck and I refuse to follow in their footsteps. I don't want to die at barely 80 years old while looking 10 years older!

    I'll be more than happy to add you and help you along in your journey.
