I'm a 21 year old college student and part-time teacher in the Metro-Columbia Area in SC. It's been recommended by my doctor that I travel from the heavy side of the healthy weight for my height (5'6) to the lean side and stay there, in order to make living with a partially disabled leg easier for me. I also hope that improving my image will help me win the approval of my peers as an intellectual and poet.
I don't have much support other than my brother and my flatmate, but I am determined to do this for my health.

I've had some problems in the last year, I am determined to be halfway to my goal by years end.
