Main Goal
I am hoping to lose between 130 and 140 pounds overall. I have had the most success with the atkins diet. It fits me and my lifestyle. My biggest obstacle is being alone. Whenever I am alone I get anxiety because I am always thinking about food. I have been a "closet eater" for most of my life. I always thought that if people didn't see me eating then it didn't "count". I am a recovering bulimic. I still struggle with purging everyday, mostly because it is an amazing form of control, almost like a drug. This is not only weight loss, but I am changing my mental thought process at the same time. I can do this!
Previous Diets
As a teenager I tried them all. I spent about 2 years on the T-Lite diet which caused severe kidney failure when I was 17. My doctor put me on a low carb diet to help counteract the effects. I fell in love with it and lost 85 pounds getting down to about 200 pounds when I graduated high school. Once I moved out of the house, I went crazy. I partied all the time and ate like it was going out of style. I found myself at an all time high of 334 pounds at 23, and knew I had to do something. On July 12th, I started again on Atkins, and got down to 284 by Halloween. Then some major life changes sent me back to comfort food. Today, I have gained 11 pounds back and am at 295.

About Me
I am a 24 year old server from Columbus, Ohio. The last year has been a pretty hard one. I finally put my mom and best friend out of my life. They were the two people that continually held me down and made me feel like I wasn't good enough. I reached the very bottom and am now the happiest I have been in a long time. I am starting school full time on March 31st and am hoping to get into shape by the summer of 2009 so that I can join the Police Academy. I have been with my boyfriend, Scott for 2 years, and we live with our 2 dogs, Gizmo (Husky/Lab mix) and Bear (German Shepard). I also have an 11 year old cat named Pork Chop. Music is a huge part of my life, one of the most powerful ways to express myself is through music. I like all kinds. I'm pretty much just a cool nerd.
