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.
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!
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
