For the first time in a really long time I am not freaking out about this. For the first time in a really long time I am not doubting myself. See, I really CAN do this...I'm not just saying that. I really can live my life the way that I want to instead of feeling in a panic and struggling the way that my mother always does. This does not have to be a life-long battle for me. I just have to nip this in the bud right now, make myself have healthy eating and exercise habits, and then I'll be ok.

It's amazing what a little bit of self-confidence can do for you.
