I am a junior in college at Xavier University, I am a social work major criminal justice minor, i am applying to a joint degree (law degree and masters in social work) this year. I have an amazing boyfriend and my friends are great. I have struggled with body image since I can remember (went on my first diet in 4th grade). I have continuously gained weight since about my freshman year of high school and now i really want to lose the weight and become more healthy. I LOVE food and eating and i get very frustrated when i dont get enjoyment out of what i am eating. My boyfriend and I love to eat out and do so regularly. I also am a fast food junkie. I love all fast food and desserts...Luckily i really like most healthy foods also (such as veggies and fish and what not). I am not very picky and I like to cook. I am 5 feet 9 inches and my starting weight is 186.5. I graduated high school at around 165lbs. My goal weight is to be between 155-160.
