I'm 27 and have been struggling with my weight for as long as i can remember. I think back in high school, and how i was unhappy when i weighed 160, and now what i would give to be that weight again! I've climbed up to 220 (230 at one point), and wonder where my life has gone.

I'm successful in so many other areas and wonder why it's been so difficult to manage my weight. I find myself binging late at night, getting down on myself, eating more and saying i'll start tomorrow. If i keep that up, tomorrow will never come and i'll never actually lose the weight and get happy again. Today IS tomorrow.

I know that if i just stick with it, it will work, i'll see results and begin my journey. I already know that just a few pound weight loss invigorates me so much, so i can only imagine what being under 200 pounds would do!

Anyway, i could keep going forever...basically i'm hoping that i'm here and writing/thinking this stuff for the last time. That i can look back at this Bio and say, "wow, look how far i've come."

Here i go...

I'm 29 now and started to eat only whole foods (nothing processed) in mid-March 2012. Feeling good with my progress and just want to work in more exercise to my life. You can't control the numbers on the scale, you can only control if you stay on plan. The numbers will catch up...
