This journal is a safe place for me to discuss my weight issues and my struggles with life and my feelings about myself.  I am an obese woman, early 20's.  I have been overweight my entire life, from the time I was around 6 months old.  I do have another diary here, and I do still write in it, but I can't bring myself to share these issues in it because it is so sensitive.  I've given weight loss surgery some serious thought, but I am going to wait for a while before making any final plans.  I am opting to try weight loss drugs and nutrition help first.
