Red face Hi

Alright, here we go. Uhm, hello

I'm not sure how to do this, so I'm just gonna write some random info about myself :P

I'm 19 years old, I've struggled with my weight most of my life, comfort eating and overeating since I was a child. Two years ago I gained almost 50 pounds as I started medications for bipolar disorder, major depression, psychosis and insomnia - let's just say that these drugs did two things: made me sleepy and made me insanely hungry. Mix hunger with a lifelong habbit of comfort eating, and you got a huge problem, and a major weight gain.
So I was at about 255 pounds, at 17 years old. On my own I'm now down to exactly 200 pounds, I'm weighing myself on monday, and hope that will be the day I can say goodbye to 200 forever!

Okay, that was a lot about me
