I always find these things awkward to fill out, but here goes:

Hello! My name is Cassie. I am a 23 year old single mother to my wonderful 18 month old daughter, Charlotte. I am currently taking classes online for an AA degree, which I hope to have by the end of this year. I am a voracious reader, and I am big into arts and craft type activities as well.

I've had life-long problems with my weight as well as my relationship and associations with food. I have social anxiety disorder and depression, and the isolation that comes along with that, coupled with the negative feelings about my weight, makes for a really unhealthy cycle that I am looking to break out of.

I've lost weight in unhealthy ways time and time again, but I am finally ready to do it right. I owe it to myself and to my daughter. :-)
