Anyways, Hi! My name is Octavia and I've been fat since I was like six. When I was young I used to go out and play and eat healthy but I was still a little overweight which really confused everyone in my family. When I was 15 my mom, grandma and aunt all passed away and my life long depression got really really bad and I turned to food more than ever and never left my bed/couch. I went from being 210 to 270 to 340 by the time I was 18. I'm nineteen now. When I was eighteen I finally got healthcare and figured out I had a thyroid problem and that's why I had always been big. I got meds and lost a little bit of weight. I moved states and lost my healthcare so now I'm not on medication for it but I still have managed to lose 20 pounds and keep it off.
Random stuff about me: I'm a goth. I love classic hollywood, reality television (i watched a lot while dying on the couch lol), all types of music, and fashion. i'm starting school for business in January. I just moved out of state for the first time in my life and have zero friends :C, aaaaand I'm really quite nice and easy to get along with.
Anyways, I'm here now bc I'm really serious about getting healthy and reading other peoples triumphs really motivates me. I'm looking for a really good group of friends that I can talk to about this weight loss stuff.
