Hi everyone : )
 

My name is Beth, I just turned 20 and I have a big weight problem. I've always had trouble eating right ever since I was a kid. A little over a year ago, my father died because of his diabetes. Although it is strong in my family and I am at risk, I am desperately trying to turn my life around so that I won't get it.

I'm a junior in college near Boston and a psychology major, and I also work. I'm in a relationship with a man who is significantly more healthy than I. He is very supportive of me in my goals.

Also I am afraid of scales. To be honest, I can not say how much I weigh because I haven't dared to look in a couple months. I know that over the summer I gained quite a bit. I bought a cheap scale from Target, and today I'm going to see what it says. I'm afraid that I'm going to be super depressed.

EDIT: I did it! Scale says 210 : /

Welcome to the forum. As hard as it is, hop on the scale, look and the number and know that you will never be that weight again.
You can do it!
