intro post

seems like most people do these, so I thought I might as well too.

My name is Isobel and I’m 19 years old, 20 in December. I’m currently in my first year at the University of Sydney. Chronic binge-eater, trying to make changes. The last time I seriously worked on my weight was ‘09, during a pretty bad time for me emotionally. I had a falling-out with my best friend, started smoking, felt terrible about myself. I feel like I’m a lot stronger now, but I’ve only gained since then and I don’t think I’ll ever really be a happy and confident person unless I do deal with this.

Said ex-best friend who I’m now happily on good terms with, and another very good friend of mine, who both live in another city, are visiting in 20 days, so my shortest term goal is to make it to the 24th without bingeing. If I can manage that, surely I can do another 345 days of counting cals and losing weight :)

Smoker, 420 friendly (munchies un-friendly :P), probably won’t ever be skinny, but at the moment I just want to stop feeling like a worthless mess.
