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 : /
