Battle with weight

Over the year my life hasn't been all perfect and great. Ever since i was little i was a plus size girl and still am, but over the years i have had problems. I've learned that i was borderline diabetic at what point and could have had a stroke at the age of 14. Than as i gotten older i have had other health issues. Some has gotten better but than as i got older some got worse. Now im going to change that and lose the weight. Yes i have always been a girl saying your size is beautiful no matter what size it is. I love being plus size but, learning that it can put me in a early grave or on medication the rest of my life isn't. I want to lose the weight for me. So i have my goal set for the month which is 8lbs and i plan on losing that. Im going to work my best at it to complete my goal by the time i graduate and get down to a healthier weight, Just wish me luck. :)
