I'm twenty six years old and I have allowed my weight to define my life. In the past two years I have gained nearly 80 pounds due to an out of control thyroid and an inability/unwillingness to make appropriate lifestyle changes.

I am terrified of failure but I'm finally more terrified of the consequences of inaction.
I used to be confident, outgoing and always sought to be the center of attention. I used to dive in front of cameras and loved to have my picture taken. I have a passion for everything pin up and retro.
Now I seek the sidelines and the shadows. I haven't had a picture taken of me on purpose since my honeymoon. And my pin up passion has been shut up lest I be mocked about the discrepancies between myself and the images I love (true story).
Anyway. I don’t like ‘this’ girl. I miss ‘that’ girl. I’m here to find her again.
