Hi! I wasn't really sure where to start so I guess I will post a quick "newcomer" thread.
Just a little background - My name is Kate, i'm a 21 year old student and i've always been overweight. My heaviest weight was about 207lbs.
Last summer, I joined this forum and found the support that I needed to get down to 168lbs. I felt great, I was running 2 miles almost every day and my new found self esteem reflected on my happiness - I don't think I've smiled so much in my life!
Throughout the year, i've had a lot of ups and downs. I became stressed with school and for comfort (as we all do) I turned to food. I've been working in a pizzeria and honestly just enjoying being 21 (beer is my downfall i think haha).
I haven't weighed myself properly yet because I am slightly in denial...All I know is that I feel awful, awful, awful and have been quite down about it. I am probably around the 190lbs mark at the moment. I have a wonderful boyfriend who always tells me I am beautiful, but I just feel like I am letting him down and i'm sure he wouldn't mind me being the weight I was when I met him last year.
I was able to meet a lot of lovely people on here before, who helped me get through the tough times and one special person urged me to get back on to the forums.
So! here I am! I am open to any kind of advice you are willing to give me. I'm looking forward to hopefully getting back to this seriously
