Hey everyone....my name is Travis, and to be quite honest, a little nervous about getting involved in a site like this. I guess now I am just fully accepting my weight.
But alas, I am here, and I hope to be here for good, this place looks like exactly what I was looking for.
Lets start off with a little about me. I recently graduated from high school with high honors(I am 18, and have been out of school for about 2 months). I applied to many of our nations top universities (Brown, Cornell, M.I.T. ETC) but do to high competition, and (in my eyes at least) a completely lethargic senior year, I was sadly tuned down at all my dream schools (I think this has led me to gain some weight. 20 pounds in the last 3 months). I am now taking some basic general ed classes here at Cal State Fullerton. In November I reapply to the major universities. Cross your fingers for me!
I last looked at a scale just yesterday. It read 223 lbs. It shocked me. For my last project in school I did a project on nutrition which required me to weigh myself, and I remember only being just under 200 at that time.
This shock coupled with my fear that I may never find what I want to do with my life is what is prompting me to change for the better.
I am being pulled in so many different directions (science, math, astronomy, dance[never tried it, but the show "So You Think You can Dance has inspired me] just to name a few), and I think I am ready!
So hi to everyone! I look forward to hearing from all of you, and sharing my unfolding story with all of you!
