Ht. 5'8", Start: 200 lb, Today: 175 lb, Goal: 140 lb - Well hey everyone! I'm officially a college student now! I am so excited! I moved in yesterday and me and my room mate have already decided that we are the heart and soul of our freshman class. But even with meeting all these new people and flirting with all the boys...yummy btw (hehe!) It has kinda scared me back into looking at my body image compared to all these other girls that I live with. Don't get me wrong I like my curves and I don't think skinny girls are attractive but I still can't help but envy them. Take for instance my room mate a size 1, oh and guess who gets more attention from the guys...yea. Don't get me wrong i love her and she is so cute and i get my share of boys to play with to but still it just tweaks me. Idk how to explain it. I would just finally like to get back to my goal weight, i've been running everyday so thats easy its just the food and the drinking that kicks my butt! Well if anyone needs someone to talk to or help motivate u drop me an e-mail at whitneygeise@creighton.edu. Good luck everyone!

I started college too this summer and its great. I feel you on the body image thing, especially because I'm doing sorority rush and basically every single one of those girls looks like they could've stepped off a miss america pageant stage.
