Hi from Virginia! :)
 

Hi everyone,
My name is Raven and I am from VA. I am 18 years young. I weigh 248 lbs and my height is 5'2. I just graduated from High School and start college in the fall. I have tried everything from diet to exercise to even diet pills to try and lose weight. I an still trying to lose weight and hopefully it's working. This summer I am going to try and eat better and exercise my favorite way. Swimming! I am just so tired of being fat. All throughout my 18 years of life I have been picked on. It is time for all that to stop. I want to be proud of myself and not feel so self-conscious of my body. I want a new body to start my new beginning in this part of my life. I want to feel like I actually have self-worth. I want to regain my self-esteem and my body. I am going to try. Try my hardest. No matter what. :goodluck:

It's sounds like you know what you want and are making strides in the right direction to accomplish your goals. This is a wonderful community that can help you along the way. You definitely do have self-worth, it just takes work to realize and nurture it. Best!

Hi Raven, welcome to 3FC :welcome:

What a great way to spend the summer! It will be so much easier to get a jump start now than to wait until the school year starts. By the time you start school, you'll feel so energized and refreshed. It will be worth it! Good luck :hug:
