Im 18. And for as long as I can remember have been overweight.

Not enough to actually qualify for a visit to the doctor. But enough for the kids and teenagers of my age notice it a little too much. Specially when it was a sport team I joined.

And no, Im not all that traumatized because of it, I did have a great childhood and I do enjoy being the way I am.

But sometimes I just wish I could be thinner enough so people will look at me as normal and even (GASP!) somewhat pretty.

I found this place in what I hope will be my LAST attempt to be thin and actually MANTAIN IT.

I started with 125 pounds and now Im 112. Closely reaching my dreamed goal of 107.

Im just trying to lose weight and not lose my mind in the process.
