Hi! New here. 
18 years old. Female. Just moved away to college this past summer. Have had a rocky past and every time I tripped over a rock I'd hit my face on a plate of food.
My grandma taught me that. Grandmas are good for that. Now grandma's not around and I still eat to comfort myself.
My weight has gone up and down like a confused yo-yo since I was about 8. The harsh realization that food doesn't comfort me at all but merely magnifies my problems hit me in the face its hardest, I'd say, a year ago.
Here's the thing. Last September, my weight was 200 pounds. That is no gooood. I'm merely 5'4.
Now it's 175 after all the walking around campus and the eating a lot less, which is a bit better, but still 40 pounds upwards of my ideal.
I'm busy often; my schedule's kinda weird, so frequently I forget to eat or fall asleep before I can work out or don't get home until very late which does not help my cause!
But I've sort of mapped out a decent routine, plus my weekends are 72-hour ones and free enough to secure an hour or two of exercise each day.
Down 40 by the beginning of June is my goal. I'm workin' on it.
Thanks!
