Hoping to loose the weight which i've aquired over the past few years, and get back down to my regular size.

I hope to travel the world in the summer/year of 2008 and volunteer throughout South America. I am a full vegetarian who loves the natural world and is a huge fan of conserving and protecting our world's environment and wildlife populations.

I started realizing i needed a change fast right after christmas of this year. Looking down at the scale and seeing the big '200' staring back at me was not a pleasant feeling, and i constantly longed for the past days of being 115 pounds. I don't want this weight to hold me back from doing both the things i love and the things i deserve in life to do. My goal is set at 120 pounds, and i would really like to loose the weight by next February/March.

I've suddenly realized that this is my one and only life. I am the only one in charge of it and the course that I plot determines my fate. Weight holds us back in life whether we want to realize it or not, and its just a part of my life which i don't want to constantly be thinking about/comparing myself towards others.
