Today: 220 lb - Hi
I came on hear once before but it was full of tiny people saying how huge they were so that really kinda put me off... U get enough of that in real life.
So anyway I'm 17, always have been overweight but I never thought of myself as fat till I was christmas 4 years ago - when I refused to eat for the next few weeks. After I started eating normally I started making myself sick, and this was an on off thing for the next 2 years. When I put on weight I would be sick and when I lost it I would stop because I didn't wanna become bulimic. Anyway, stopped doing that and became happier but put on LOADS of weight. This time I wanna lose it properly and sensibly because at the moment I weigh around 220lbs and im getting worried about my health. Also my alteroir motive is I wanna look good for my 18th in may!!! Anyway looking for friends who will support each other through this.
Another thing is what do ppl think of the atkins diet as a booster thing - my dad ( a doc)says theres no real harm in it as long as you dont do it for more than 3/4 months at a time - but what about the smell thing?????
