i am a 23yo female, who finally made the decision to take control of my "life" and finally start LIVING. i have (for as long as i could remember) always been/had issuses with my weight. my first memory of realizing i was a "heavy" child was when i was around 9yrs old, when my friend asked me how much i weighed, @ the time i was around 100lbs, i thought nothing of it, that is until i heard her reaction, stating i weighted more then her older brother (who was 12yrs old). that moment hurt and was quite frankly embarassing. it was my first memory of ever feeling embarassed about my weight, which inevitably wasn't the last as time went on. i have always been the "fat" friend in the group. i have never expected to much from boys, and even if/when i get attention from them... i honestly don't know what to do with it. i have always had trouble accepting compliments, whether it be from family or strangers. but on may 18th, i made the bold decision to FINALLY take control of my life. i look forward to this new life and to this new journey learning and finally being able to live the life i've always dreamed about :)
