Default Embracing the weight

First of all- I would like to say hello to everyone! I am a 21 - year old recent college graduate. I'm begining a new road in my life and heading off to graduate school in August, and am ready for a brand new start! My whole life- I've been overweight, which really is uncool with a size 2 sister and "hot mom".... In the last year, I've lost about 50 pounds and could not feel better!!! I still am needing to lose hopefully 30 more pounds in the next year.
I am hoping this website will help me do this...
My whole life I've denied myself the best, whether it be in objects or relationships. I never believed that I, a fat girl, deserved anything or anyONE nice. As far as boyfriends go- I've never believed that anyone would ever see me in a romantic way.
With the weight I lost- I have not lost this mentality!!! But- I am using this website as a support to help me stop apologizing for myself, and start embracing life AND myself! I know that my life is being wasted taking the easy way and staying in my comfort box. I know that I have to love myself before I can let anyone else in...and I am making progress. Baby steps, baby steps!!!
Anyway- hello everyone!!!!!
P.S... Good book recomendations are more than welcome! I read "the Perfect Fit" - and it actually hit very close to home and was a good read.

Welcome Sydney...I feel your pain on the sister that is smaller than you. My older sister was the exact same way when I was growing up. Congrats on deciding to start this journey and good luck with everything!
