After graduating high school, I slowly but surely gained 30 pounds. I work nights at a hotel, and don't have the proper schedule for maintaining a healthy weight. I have been down many roads, including a severe period of bulemia and depression. I struggle constantly with low self image and severe depression, although I am known by my friends and coworkers as a giggly cheerful person. I am determined to find a healthy plan that can match my crazy lifestyle. Please please help me out!
