Hi There!
Not much to add. You've gotten some great advise. All I can add it that you need to remember, you are in control here! You are responsible for everything you put in your mouth! I tell myself that everytime I think about eating something I know that I shouldn't. Birthday cake being passed around? Excuse yourself to the bathroom for 5 minutes and think about what really matters to you. That cake? Or losing weight and feeling good about yourself? Which one is sweeter? Take a long look in the mirror, see yourself as you are and as you want to be. Still want that cake?
You can do this! If I can, you can! I admire you starting so young. I waited till I was 32, depressed and in pain to start. 10 months later I am 91 pounds lighter (GOD BLESS DR. ATKINS!!!). You can do it! Exercise if free and so is maintaining control. Take a walk everyday! Dance around the living room! Put on some great music and use your stairs as a step trainer. YOU CAN DO THIS! Start small, and grow bigger. As you do, you'll start big and grow smaller!
Good luck!
