Basically just wanted to utilize etiquette of the 'net and introduce myself!

So, hello everyone.

I'm a seventeen year old girl from wherever. I'm currently 5'4" and about 190lbs. I'd like to get down to 130lbs by the end of July. That's about 12lbs a month... that's healthy, no?

I'm pretty dedicated once I set my mind to something. I'm just sort of in an emotional rut and trying to find every push I can.

I'm a little psycho and as soon as I get over one issue, there's another knocking at my door. My weight's the main thing now. I feel incredibly insecure and I'd love to lose this weight before I move on my own and start college this Sept. I think once I lose the weight I can shed a lot of my inhibitions and insecurities and I'll be a more confident person overall.

I grew up in a place with a lot of issues and stuff. My grandma used to feed me to compensate the things she'd thought I'd be going through. I learned that food was comfort. I have an addictive personality anyway and began to eat as an escape the same way others drink, smoke, watch TV, whatever; you understand, I'm sure.

Gotta stop that. I need to get a handle on it.

The numbers on the scale make me seem bigger than I am, though. Overweight as I may be, I've never been too much bigger than my peers. I told myself that if it ever reached the point where I was the fattest girl in any given situation, I'd fix it. From my age of about 15 until recently, I was always the second-to-fattest girl in the class. Before that I was just kind of chubby. As a child, though, I was apparently "too skinny." Dunno what happened.

This year, I feel like a buffalo. :-/

I walk the halls and the only thing that goes through my mind is how jealous I am of all the girls with enough self-control to be a healthy weight.

I'll get there, I guess. Just need some support.

English isn't really my first language so sorry if I'm incoherent from time-to-time. :blush5:

Hope you're all doing well. I lurked this place for a bit and you seem like a terrific bunch of people! Take care of yourselves! :)

Thank You,
J

:waving: Hi & welcome. You are in the right place to get all the support you need. As was suggested to myself when I joined..read the 'stickies' and decide on a good eating plan that suits your life style. Get some exercise going..wow you are young so should have loads of energy.....get addicted to that...and planning healthy meals..set small achievable targets..and allow a reward when you reach them. Good Luck...enjoy!!
