Hi there, I am 20 years old and I have struggled with my weight since after having to take steroids to cure my meningitis, I was on the medication for two years, and some of the side effects of that were stunted growth and rapid weight gain, the habit of eating too much stuck with til now and I am determined to change this for myself, my family and for my future. I hoped joining 3fatchicks would motivate me lose weight but for me to also encourage others. Sorry if its a bit long but I look forward to beginning my weight loss journey with you!
