16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share? I'm really interested in meeting friends to help me along this long journey and to help keep me motivated. I want to lose the weight for many reasons, but most of all I want to feel confident about myself again, I want to know that when someone says "Jenn you're beautiful" that they really mean all of me and not just "what a pretty face." I want to get healthy so I can find love again and hopefully one day have a family of my own. I want to be around to help raise my nieces because my sister is in bad health. I want to be able to run and play with them without giving out of breath. I hope this website will keep me on the right track. I was raised on true southern cooking so I'm having to learn how to eat healthy and make the right choices when it comes to food. What I thought I knew was not right so hopefully someone out here can help me with this.
