Hi-My name is Michelle. I am 28 y/o and I live in Chicago. I am an aspiring opera singer and voice teacher. I have been dealing with being a "big girl" since I was really young. As well as being overweight, I am also really tall (6'0 close to 6'1). The whole tall thing has really allowed me to carry an excess amount of weight w/out really realizing it-livin' in a dream world!! But for the past year I have been going to Northwestern Hospitals Wellness Institute. I see a psycologist, and a nutritionist, and a doctor. Not all at once-but spread out. It has been a real comprehensive program that has REALLY gotten me to look at my behavior and how I got to be this size. I am also on Meridia because I found that I was hovering at a stupid plateau and it has helped me jump it. I am here because I am looking for support-I am sick of all my skinny friends pushing food on me-not wanting to kill the mood by saying"TRYING TO lose weight HERE!" I am really trying to copewith the pressure of it all-parents/friends/society/MYSELF! I am just glad to see you all are here-it makes me feel good-and I hope to help you as well.
Big and Tall newbie here-luvin' it.
Welcome
