Ht. 5'10", Start: 194 lb, Today: 189 lb, Goal: 145 lb - Hi guys, as you know, I wouldn't be here if i wasn't as big...I have gotton used to and have accepted myself as being fat to a point where it doesn't bother me any more when my friends openly snicker at me or give me nick names. Some friends, huh? I've been haunted by my weight all my life. I had a terrible childhood and I am a victim of a vicious food cycle. In sixth grade (I didn't know it at the time) my sister got really into nutrition just to help me lose weight (i was 5'4" and 170) where she lost about 15 and i lost 35 pounds. No one made fun of me anymore and people couldn't stop talking about me. Now I am 7 inches taller and about twenty pounds heavier than i was in 6th grade. I recently just moved and have few close friends, it makes me so sad. Since I just NEVER cry, i eat a lot and it helps me relax. I am willing to do whatever it takes to improve my attitude and self-esteem.
