19/Female/Japan

I'm a 19 year-old female residing in Kyoto, Japan. I have not been diagnosed with an eating disorder, but I'm well aware that I have one; possibly even several.

My main goals in going through with this diet are
- to learn how to lose weight in a salubrious way
- to gain some self-esteem
and ultimately,
- to stabilize my life (rid myself of disordered eating patterns)

Probably the most difficult aspect of dieting is resisting competition. Most of my close friends and many of my family members are all active dieters. Sometimes I become so caught up in dieting that I become highly competitive, constantly comparing myself with everyone. The irony is that although I'm surrounded by dieters, I have not yet been able to establish a dieting compatibility partner. It's probably my way of avoiding competition and conflict. I do need and want one though, and if it's someone online then I'm positive that there would not be unnecessary conflict. So if there is anyone out there that would be willing to be my online compatibility partner, that would be really great. I wouldn't mind a guy or a girl, but someone around my age would be preferable. Thank you :)
 
Well I just turned 27 on July 13 and I'm also a guy lol.

I'm from the U.S.

The state of Michigan to be specific.

I've got quite a bit to lose so you'll probably reach your goal before me.

Its not a big deal though for me as I've lost a lot of weight before when I put my mind to it.

I will do so again and reach my goal of 200lbs.

We'll help eachother to our goals I suspect. :boxing:

What is your weight loss goal if you don't mind my asking?

You can PM it to me if you don't want it made public.

I was going to PM you, but apparently I can't PM anyone for another 5 days. :doh:
I want to lose 5 kilograms (about 11 lbs?) by September. That probably sounds like nothing to you but it takes me a lot to lose a little weight! :) I really don't know if I'll be able to lose 5 kg in less than 2 months...

Is there are certain date you want to reach the 200lbs by?
