I'm 21 years old and I live in Florida with my husband and daughter. I go to school for nursing and find it ironic that someone who is going to school for health care does something so unhealthy. I am tired of being "the fat girl", like I've been my whole life. I'm tired of not being able to buy the cute clothes and hang around the beautiful people. I'm tired of the stares, the giggles, the looks of pity and disgust.

As you can see on the right, I have a few "favorite things" in this world. I don't usually like watching TV, but when I do, I like America's Next Top Model (it's great thinspiration), The Office (so funny), Lil' Bush (incredibly hilarious) and Family Guy (usually funny).

I also like movies: The Green Mile and Pan's Labyrinth are my favorites, but I also like The Office and Bad Santa.

Funny enough, I don't hate food. In fact, I am absolutely in love with sushi. I just hate what food does to me. I hate the lack of self control I feel when I am around it.

Music wise, Atreyu is the best. I don't love every single one of their songs but they are hands down my favorite artists. I also love Evanescence and Flyleaf. It sounds like I'm one of those Hot Topic mall rats, but I'm not. I also like Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan (yes, she can sing) and Rihanna. It's just that lately, the darker, louder stuff has more closely matched my mood.
