I am a 265lb, 5' 6.25", 27 year old college student (Fresno State, 2nd time around!) I have been various degrees of fat as long as I can remember. Of course, when i was in high school and early college I weighed 180 and thought I was huge! Now I look at pics from then and WISH i was that skinny! I'm sure everyone has those moments, huh? I live with my boyfriend of many years who is pretty skinny and loves ALL of me! I am sure he will be happy when there is less of me though. I have 2 dwarf hamsters called Penelope and Lola (the former being my nom de plume). I am the oldest of 5 children ages 21, 15, 11 and 4. My dad passed in 2002 at the age of 56, partially due to being overweight. I want to be around to help my mom and family and not have to put them through losing me too soon. The battle begins!!
