Hi, I'm Karen.

So I'm 13, and have been overweight mmy entire 13 years. I used to try and tell myself that it was baby fat, but it was just a terrible lie. This whole thing has caused me a lot of problems including: Insulin Resistance/ Sugar Handling Problems,  A brown ring around my neck from excess sugar, addiction to milk, and chocolate, weak knees, and weak ankles.

I'm ready to fix these things. I've always been the big girl, but I've tried not to let it bother me. Infact the only time it bothers me is when my bestfriends make fun of a someone for being fat, then turn around and tell me how good I look. I think media would like us to beleive, that in order to be sexy and beautiful, you have to be as thin as a ruler. I've heard from a lot of guys, that they like girls who are average, a little meat on their bones.

I can't wait till I look like that beautiful, average girl! My shorterm goal is 15lbs by June 25th, hopefully sooner. My long term goal is 130lbs which would mean a losing a total of 165lbs. I'm excited, I can already see the new me.
