Hi My names Melissa and I am 24 (going on 25 in 3 weeks) I am from cleveland ohio and can stand to lose at least 30 pounds. Diabetes runs in my family and it terrifies me that being as overweight as I am for my height that I could one day become diabetic. I feel like my excess weight makes me increasingly tired sluggish insecure and depressed. I have a lot going on in my life personally, and its pretty much rock bottom for me. I think that if I focus my attention on something that can be a positive for me, like losing weight and becoming healthier it will lead me to becoming happier and healthier and it would help me feel like ya know from here things can only go up...right? I hope to find comfort and friends here
