3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community - Hello Everyone! I'm New to 3FC

Hello all,
My name is Diana and I'm 18 years old.
This is my story. It's a bit long, so I hope you don't all scroll on past it. :dizzy:

Since I was 5 years old, I have struggled with my weight. Due to being put on steroids for an extreme case of childhood asthma, I came back to Kindergarten from the hospital 50 lbs heavier than I was before I was admitted. From then til I was 16, I was always, for lack of a better word, fat.
I would say that I've always had issues dealing with food but they became a big problem at age 14. I would starve myself the entire school day and then binge uncontrollably after class. I was afraid to eat in front of other people because I was so insecure about my weight. That lead to closet eating. I weighed 185 lbs in 8th grade.
I kicked the binge eating habit and finally thought I had everything just right. I lost 50 lbs but I wasn't proud of what I had done to get there. I developed Bulimia-Nervosa and was diagnosed with it. I admitted myself into a treatment facility, which really made me reflect upon my habits and I gave up purging.
After treatment, I pretty much gave up caring about food. This lead to yet another f-ed up relationship with food and I returned back to my starve-yourself-than-gorge routine. Now with the aid of planned meals and exercise, I'm hoping to get down to 120 lbs from 190 lbs. I have been working on weight loss for about a month now and I have already lost 10 lbs.

I just wanted to say that I'm really thankful for communities like this. There are far too many communities/forums for weight loss on the net that encourage the types of behaviors I'm trying to cut out of my life. From what I've seen so far, this seems like a great supportive HEALTHY place for sensible weight loss.

Thank you for reading my blabber,
Diana
