Hi, everyone. My name is Daesha. This is my first post on here and I feel so hopeless with getting this weight off. I'm a sohpmore in college, 20 years old, size 18 (pants). I gained 40 pounds my first year in college dealing with home problems. Even before I came I was about 200 pounds and unhappy with my weight and always wanted to be in a size 14/150 pounds and just to be healthier. So, My journey so far have been anything but easy. I've cried more than I ever thought I would and I've felt like giving up sooo many times. I've lost 20 pounds so far. I started out 243 pounds in Nov. and I'm currently 220 (not after I binged this weekend though Then I found this site. I'm in some serious need of support, and I really wonder am I the only one who has felt or went through this. I work my but off, exercising and eating healthy only to feel horrible in the in end win I step on a scale. I see other friends out eating and I can't eat it and it makes me feel even more desperate. I'm determined to get rid of this weight, and all the foods I crave is what got me here in the first place! I was diagnosed with Acid Reflux disease and was advised to give up greasy, fatty foods, and to lose weight.. I could not breath one night and that was the stopping point for this unhealthy lifestyle. I'm a sophomore in college so it makes it even more difficult to eat healthy bc things are so expensive and it so little things to choose from! I feel hopeless, and I feel like I'll never reach my goal weight or size... I just want to be healthier. Help.
By the way, this has been the most supportive site EVER!!! And I pray I'm able to find my own motivation and continue losing weight.
