My name is Edna, I’m 23 years old, I’m going to graduate next year from dentistry FINALLY! now...about why I'm here:
For as long as I can remember I been told by my parents to eat everything on my plate, I’ve been in the kind of family where fat is healthy and I really have to say that plate was SOME PLATE! It was a big big plate with a loot of food on it, greasy, very salted... They would put bread, tortillas, cheese, salsa... etc. Around the table to eat with this dish, also we drank a lot of soda if not some extra sugary water.
I’m half Mexican half Lebanese and well i guess you know how popular we are with the food haha...
iggy:
I think one of my biggest issues with being obese is my father, when I was young he called me names, it didn’t bother me until I grew older and then he embarrassed me in public and he even permitted my brother to do it, (I was confused he wanted me to eat everything, we always went out for greasy, chunky food, he wanted me fat, what did I do wrong?) I cried a lot on those days, my father usually said that he made fun of me because maybe I’d be ashamed and loose some weight, with time (that would be from 18 to my 20’s so not that long ago) I learned how to fight back and somehow ignore him or make fun of him instead so he is kinda learning to shut up. Don’t take me wrong I love my father and he has given me everything except confidence...nor self esteem hehe..
My personality is this, I'm the fat girl who makes you laugh, the girl who hangs out with boys but never becomes their girlfriend, the one who has a beautiful face but she is fat (believe me I heard that 2 many times before), the one that goes out with friends but never gets picked by boys, the kind of girl that everyone will say shes tha bomb! that she is fun, outgoing, friendly... but still, the one who cries at night and thinks to herself "girl...you are a joke"
So the thing is I learned to stay fat, I think I’ve been hiding in my obesity for to long, its my safe zone, its my shell, but I need to be healthy, I need to grow up and build a new me, a person full of life, with self esteem and a bright future.
In a year I’ll be a dentist as I said, I want to look beautiful on my graduation day and I want THAT day to mark a new start in my life.
So, you are very welcome to read the pages I'll write every day (hopefully) in this diary, where I'll show everything I'll be doing to become this new girl. My diet, my calorie count, my problems in every day and well some jokes and silly things to!
I'll see you around and thanks for reading...

P.S. “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending”...right?

Hi (almost) Dr. Edna! How very cool that you are almost done your degree and ready to hang your own shingle! Well done. And might I add, if you can get through Dentist School - YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!!! You are obviously one determined (and smart) cookie.
Relationships are certainly tricky, aren't they? Be kind to yourself! 
Research how many calories you need daily to reach your goal. Set an exercise plan - and follow it! And you will be at your goal before you know it.
lol
the name of the school is UABC (University of Baja California) Still I'm getting my papers in order cuz I'm going to do my practice in San Diego once I do my professional exam
