Hello!
I am 16 years old and live in Sweden. I like to bake, read and write and ball jointed dolls. I am very intrested in history and study from home.
Weight is something very emotional to me. My weight (266) is everything I think about, it makes me sad and angry. And I really, utterly hate my body.
I have struggled with my weight since I was little. Just last year I was diagnosed with a bingeeating dissorder, but I would consider myself rather healthy now, after a year at Mandolean (you eat on a scale and weird stuff, it helps!). I eat normal portions and never binge anymore! Yay! :D
I also have Aspbergers and ADHD, I eat prozac for my depression. But it's getting better.

So now I want to change! So many emotional things are tied to my weight, now I am going to do something about it!

Hugs,
Natalia

God dag, trevligt att trafas :)

A lot of us feel the same way about our bodies. It's not a good feeling, not at all. The people here are very nice and informative- we're friends, but they'll also give you a kick in the butt if you need it (sometimes even if you don't ask :P)

I also have ADHD. Do you take medicine for it, as well, or just your prozac?

You definitely have the power to change. Do some reading, think up a plan, and start with baby steps. We'll be here to support you. :)

Good luck!

Welcome to one Newbie from another!

Hello and welcome! I am fairly new here as well. I know exactly where you're coming from regarding the hatred for your body... That's where I am right now... I too am on medication for anxiety (Paxil) and I have struggled with my weight since I was about 8 years old (I'm 30 now). Congratulations on starting your weight loss journey, with a little support and willpower, you can do anything! Good luck!

Oh it feels good to think that I am not the only one. Haha, I guess friends need to kick each others butts.
No, no medicine, just prozac for depression.
I hope I have the power, "stop eating" is not the problem, I eat pretty good, it's the excerise I suck at...

First of all thank you, and congrats to you too! I think that a person can do anything if she really wants to!
I started going to a nutrionist when I was like 9, and I hated her so much so I decided to not do anything she told me too. (she made me cry, I was 9.)

Good luck at you to!
