First of all, I hope I'm doing this right, I haven't been on a forum in years.
Anyway... Hi.
My name is Trina, I'm 18 (19 in a couple weeks) and I specifically looked up a weight loss forum because I need help and support. I have an unhealthy relationship with food and I just feel at a loss. I have lost a tiny bit of weight, but that was mainly through exercising more which I've not had too many problems with so far.
A little about myself... I've been fat for as long as I remember, my doctor suggested I may have PCOS but I haven't been officially diagnosed. I've yo-yoed with weightloss over the past few years but a couple months ago I finally got so fed up and decided I wanted to be a success story instead of watching the scale inch its way back up again. My problem is, I know what foods are good and which are bad for me and my body but when the bad foods are available I have an incredibly hard time resisting them. I can go as much as a couple weeks but I always give back in eventually. My family tries to help, but I get testy when people tell me what to do/what not to do, so they don't even try to stop me anymore when I reach for the unhealthy options. I almost feel like giving up on myself since everybody else has.
Not to be a total Debbie Downer, I try to keep a happy outlook on life and just keep chugging along, I guess I'd just like to go a little faster/smoother where my diet is concerned
one step forward and two steps back isn't gonna cut it!
Young and chubby, looking for support :)
I'm 23 and I have had a weight problem for as long as I can remember too. I know how exactly you feel when it comes to eating good for the first few weeks and giving back in. I wish I could learn not to give in but it is so hard 
I've been a yo-yo dieter much, much, much longer than you, but it started when I was about your age. What I have just recently learned is that I have a carb sensitivity and counting calories for me was not as successful as it was for other people because a "calorie is NOT a calorie is NOT a calorie" for me. Carb calories, which are in the bad foods you're describing, were causing me to fall off the wagon. A carb sensitivity may not be true for you, but I want to make you aware of it just in case. I don't want you to yo-yo diet all your life as I have. The diet I am following now is based on the slow-carb diet:
