I'm from Canada raised in South America most of my childhood and teen years, moved to Canada BC. In my early 20's. The change of life between hardly any food and no commodities to all processed food and things like indoor plumbing, cars buses and TV, supermarkets everywhere and a generally easy life, well I gained weight fast. Went from a size 16 to a size 28 in under a year. I've slowly gotten to a size 24 and weigh 320 pounds now. My goal is to lose 100 Lbs. I have no self esteem and for being a Leo, that is painful. I love to be the center of the fun, I am bubbly and happy when I can hide behind my computer screen and not have to go outside and be Me. I love outside but the sun makes me sick, at this point I struggle with motivation and the will to keep putting one foot in front of the next.

New Update: I'm down to 247 now, I'm happier healthier as far as weight goes. I have developed osteoarthritis in my feet and hands and it mega sucks as far as losing weight. I was put on Gabapentin for pain, makes me feel groggy and sick. I'm alot more active and I'm doing more. Recently got a Beagle and other then a lot of pain everyday making life very crappy, I am happy I have lost what I lost and I work to keep losing.
