Hey. I'm new.

I'm tired of being chubby. My self-concept is beyond low. I try to kid myself into believing I'm thin, but I look in the mirror and get dejected.

I was at my cousin's dress fitting, where all her other bride's maids got size 4 or 6 dress. I joked around and tried to disguise the fact that I was getting a size 12.

I know, 155 isn't a terrible weight. My health isn't in danger. But, I'm nineteen. I've always been the chubby girl, and I'm tired of it dammit! ><

So.. My main problem is sweets. Right now, if a pack of doughnuts were in front of me, I'd eat all twelve. I'd kill for a strawberry cheesecake Blizzard from Dairy Queen. And I have dreams about swimming in a pool filled with Cadbury eggs. Gah! There's something seriously wrong with that!

So, spill. Show me what you got. I can take it.

I can so relate to what you are saying. I am completely addicted to sugar as well. For me the only way to kick the habit is to go cold turkey. I just don't partake. If you think you're going to give in get a piece of gum and pop it in. It gives you that sugary taste you crave but with only 5 calories. Keep waging the war and eventually you'll win. Just don't give in. And remember if you do give in, don't beat yourself up, just get back on the wagon and keep going.
