Hi, my name is Jacqueline. I have been lurking here for a long time, but I haven't felt committed enough to post until now. As for my stats, I'm a 23 yo woman living in Dallas with my boyfriend of 3 years. I am studying to be a High School English teacher. I am relatively new to Dallas (I'm originally from Southern Illinois) but I am not new to weight problems. I was always a bigger (yet active) kid, but when I hit puberty the weight began to pile on. I was struggling with clinical depression, and I kept getting fatter and fatter. After struggling through my early and late teens, my life leveled off in my early 20s. But my weight was only thing I couldn't make better. Today, I am at my fattest ever at 310. I want to lose weight but am really attached to the security and comfort of being fat and eating. Hopefully here I can find a community of others like me and can start on the path to fitness. Thanks for listening and glad to be here!!
