Well, finally I can poston the forums! I registered a couple days ago, but my activation email never sent... anyways, I just finally re-registered, and I can post! haha. :p

My name is Brittany, I'm 21 years old. I guess I'll start with why I've had weight issues most of my life. I was raised as the youngest of 4 kids... 2 older brothers and 1 older sister. My older sister was just gorgeous, and everyone knew it. She was tall, had long blonde hair, and hazel eyes. She wanted to be a model, and easily could have been... but my parents didn't have the money at the time. My mom always favored her the most, and always talked about how beautiful she was. I was shorter, with short brown hair, and dark brown eyes... and just about never skinny enough.
My parent's weren't harsh by any means... but they would make comments one what I was eating and about my weight when I was only 12 or so. I wasn't even big.. but at the time I thought so! I was probably a size 7 womens.. if that.
I went through phases of trying to make myself sick after eating, but it would never stick with me. I've battled with my weight insecurities for years now, and I can't stand it any longer.
Last year I just quit eating. I would fast all the time, and go days without anything but water. I ended up losing over 30 pounds, and felt great about myself... except that I was always tired, and hungry. Of course over the months, I've gained almost all the weight back.

Long story short.. I am just trying not to get back into the bad habits of the ED lifestyle. I want to lose weight the healthy way, and I'm definitely going to need support for that. Thanks for reading..

Hi Brittany and welcome to the forum.

It is great that you want to get fit and lose weight the healthy way. That is the only way that it will stay off. I have found utilizing the diary option here is wonderful! Great way to get all the emotions out, instead of stuffing them down.

Take care and have a great day.
 
Thanks wachee for the warm welcome. *holds head in shame* I used to be on websites that were similar to this one.. in the fact that we could keep diaries.. but those websites were 'pro-ana.' Anyways.. other than that fact, I know the diaries are definitely a huge helping stone to losing weight, and helping others through their trials.
Thanks again, and I'll have to check yours out. :)
