3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community - 3FC newbie just wanting to say hello!

hi all,

i'm new to 3FC (just joined yesterday) but i've been visiting the recipes and nutrition info parts of the site for ages! i'm 20 and working on an english/women's studies degree in university, and i hope to work overseas with an international women's organization after i graduate. first, though, i need to shed a few pounds. i was pretty active in high school and was always very slim (even went through a restrictive eating phase where i got really skinny) but in the past year i have put on a lot of weight mostly by binge eating. i'm trying to gain an understanding of why i do this to myself, and so far reading the posts here has been a really great start! it's always reassuring to know that others are going through the same issues that i am, and i look forward to providing as much help as i can as well as (hopefully!) recieving some support as well!

so, hello to everyone! thank-you for including me in your weight loss journeys!
