I am currently 24-years-old. I will be graduating this spring and going out on my own and it just hit me on how I am not satisfied with myself. And I mean just looking at myself and not noticing who that person is. I have not always been confident in myself, but I finally became very comfortable with myself over the past four years, or so. I don't really care what I wear or how I look like with what I wear. It's just even with being this confident I'm just not pleased with the me I see in the mirror. I don't recognize who I am anymore. Over the years there have been factors that made me gain and keep gaining, but with them somewhat settled now, I want to find that me hidden in all the pounds.
Anyways, I wanted to say hello. I have been on this journey of weight loss for so long, gaining and losing, that I just finally hit the place in my life where I want to lose and keep it off. I'm determined now to make it work no matter how hard it might be. I hope that maybe being here can keep me on track or at least I can talk to others who are in the same position. First time doing that but I think I need it. I've started since August 2011, but that was only to learn how to eat better and maintain my weight, and I recently started incorporating exercise. It's tough but definitely hope to positive.
And this time I won't be defeated to get myself back together! Aja!
