I'm Sacred Secrets. A girl who just turned 18-years-old. I'm struggling with my weight. I've struggled with it my entire life. I grew up a chunky kid, fat kid, obese kid, you name it. I used to be 375 pounds or so in middle school. In high school, my weight maintained around 220 pounds after doing Atkins with my step-father. I'm 5 foot 9 inches tall. I'm here because I need help and support. I need answers to things I haven't been able to find on my own. I'm also new to the site. So forgive me now if I mess up. I'm doing Atkins on my own in a high calorie, high fat, high in sweets and junk food house. It's a constant struggle I don't give into. I don't buy my own food, I still live with my parents; so I need simple ingredients to tell them what to buy for me. In a nutshell, short, clear, simple answers go a long way for me.
