Hey all,
I'm Sophia. I kinda decided to join this forum on a whim, but I'll admit I've done a bit of lurking in the past
From what I've seen this is a very positive, strong, friendly, close- knit community. I can't wait to be a part of it
I have not been big all my life. I currently weigh 260 pounds, but I have been on all sides of the scale, mostly due to medication and some bad choices when it comes to eating. When I was 16 I really started to gain weight, mostly because of metabolism and appetite changes due to a change in medication. 4 years and 100 pounds later, I'm ready to take control and make a change. I'm sick of being disgusted when I see myself in the mirror. I'm sick of critical comments from my family. I can't wait to have my self-esteem, my body, and my life back!
I hope to see you all around the forum
