Hi! I'm a newbie on here.....but my story is a lot like most of yours....My name is Amber and Im 20 years old. I was never really skinny in all of my life except for maybe when i was really young. I was never really what I would consider fat until now. But I was always bigger than I wanted to be. After I graduated high school I gained even more weight. I weighed about 150lbs the day I graduated, but by the time I finished my first year in college I had reached about 170 lbs. After my first year, I decided I didnt really want to go to college right then, so I didn't go back. That was in May 2006. Since then, I have just continually gained...and now I am at 205 lbs...I never thought I would see the day that I would reach 200. but now, none of my clothes fit...even the ones I was wearing 2 months ago. I hate to go shopping because nothing fits me....I hate going out to dinner because I feel like people are looking at me and thinking horrible things about me in their heads. I feel completly unattractive and disgusting...which is causing problems in my relationship. When I get out of the shower or am getting dressed, I make sure I'm no where near a mirror....I just cant bear to look at myself without getting depressed about it. I look at my old pictures and wish I looked like taht again....I want to lose it and get back to where I was, but I just dont knwo how to go about it. I have tried diets...and I just cant stick to them. I looked online about trying Jenny Craig or something that you just buy all their meals..but thats so expensive...its almost $400 for a month and I just dont have that. I live on my own and theres no way I can afford that. I dont know what to eat thats healthy or anything. I'm on a tight budget so its hard for me to get a gym membership. I just dont know what to do or where to turn i ahve got to lose this, someway somehow. And Im willing to do what it takes. I just need some help in ideas and how to go about it. If any of you can help by giving me ideas on how you did it....please let me know...ThankS
