Hello everyone.
Well as you can see from my title, this is the third time I will try MFP. I really want to be successful with this weight loss. I want to be healthy because I am still young and my body and mind will thank me when I am older.
I am also very tired of being the "fat" friend. I know that it is very shallow of me to say that, but that has hurt my self esteem a lot.
I am hoping to find motivational people on here who talk about their journey because I want to use this website a lot. I am going on a trip to San Francisco in August and, although I will not lose 40 pounds by then, I am hoping to at least be 10-15 pounds lighter.
I am 173.8 pounds right now and 5'5. I want to lose 40 pounds in the long run. Any tips on how to get rid of cravings? Any cooking tips? My main problem is my diet. I eat really bad and a crave everything. Any tips will be really appreciated.
Also, if you want to add me as a friend, I would love that. I would love to see motivational people on my dash (I even downloaded the app, which I didn't do the last time I had an account here).
Sorry this is long. Thank you for reading this.

Jess
