I've struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. At age 16 and 5'5 I weigh 145 lbs. I have always been very self conscious about my body type and weight.

Most of my friends and family would tell you that I eat very healthy, and most of the time I do. I usually enjoy eating salads and fruit over junk food. I think it is my habits that tend to be unhealthy. I tend to either eat very healthy, almost to the point of it being unhealthy, or I compulsively overeat, try to hide it, and beat myself up for it afterwards. I find myself thinking about food more than I think the average person does. It is sometimes difficult for me to eat healthy being with my friends, who are mostly boys, who live on pizza and chips. I want to stop this obsessive, unhealthy way of living. I want to change my self image and confidence.

Looking to loose about 20 lbs before I leave for vacation in March!
