I've always struggled with self image, thinking I was bigger than I was, when in reality I was just a few pounds heavier than I should have been. At 19, I had my weight down and under control... I could still afford to lose a few but I was lookin' good. The problem was that I kept it under control for an abusive boyfriend. Once I got the guts to get rid of him, I let myself go. Now I'm 202lbs and I had absolutely no motivation.

I'm changing my mindset. I want to lose weight for me. I want to be free to do the things I love.

If you could give me any advice/tips... that would be awesome! I know nothing about self control, fitness, etc. I really could use the help!
