Ht. 5'4", Start: 227 lb, Today: 227 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 180 lb - Hey everyone, so basically, ive always wanted to be 130 since i was age 13. In freshman year i was around 180 and then everyday after school i went to McDonalds with some older kids who could drive, we would hang out and eat everday. Then i ended up into the 200s then the 220s. Now im pretty much dieing to be 180 again. I really want this, and i have all the tools to do it, its just makeing myself do it. Anyone get where im coming from? Ive been reading the pots and i feel like im the biggest girl here :c. Ive decided im going to drink 8 cups of water a day like people are supposed to do, i just hope i can make myself do it.
I fersure wanna be more healthy, but honstley, i want a boyfriend, because ive never had one (other than the internet, yeah i know pathetic). Im starting tomarrow, and im not sure what i want to do for excersise yet, but the better eatting deff starts tomarrow. I hope someone acutally reads this haha, good luck to everyone!

I very much understand, I wanna get motivated towards the healthy issue, but when it comes down to it, I just wanna be noticed. I wanna shop and have fun shopping. I wanna feel more confident. Go out and do things I can't now because of my self image.
Also, I wanna be able to stop the white and black thinking. I wanna stop binging after eating one cookie because "i ruined it might as well go ahead and ruin everything"
I hope we can do this :)

Honestly. I know what you mean. I was 194lbs freshman year. It freekin sucked all my friends have had boyfriends and could shop at normal stores while I was squeezing into things and buying XL shirts. It sucks. Then I cut back on how much I ate and lost 15lbs. By the summer I was 180 without even noticing changes. Then I lost another 15lbs and gained it back In 3 months. Stayed a constant 170 since. But I'm still overweight and it cotinues to hold me back in my confidence with my body. I'm dieting and exercising again and trying to get back to the lowest weight I can remember of the 5th grade at 150. Then I'll see where I want to go from there.
I wish you all the best.
