Hello, everyone. I'm new to this community.
I'm terribly shy, and I
hate making introductions, but I figured it's sort of necessary.
I go by the screen name "Galieniel" on the internet, and I'm 22 years old. I'm currently planning on going back to college next semester, just to get my GPA back up, and I'm also losing my sanity trying to find a job around here! The economy in a small town like this is atrocious!
I've been a large girl all of my life; I have large parents as well, so it's something I grew up with. I've tried yo-yo diets, but couldn't seem to keep up with anything for more than a few weeks at a time.
I recently found this messageboard, and I'll tell you that it was a breath of fresh air. It seems like I'm either bombarded with people saying rude things like, "Just get off your fat *** and lose weight", or "I'm anorexic and anti-fat." It's so frustrating trying to find a supportive group with good information!
Anyway, I think that about covers it. Of course, I'm looking to meet new friends and learn new tips. I recently just quit smoking, so I need some tips on how to keep myself from overeating as well. Can anyone help me?
