Time to change things

So I just cleaned out my closet...I'm having to buy new stuffs because I'm starting an internship this summer for my grad program... and wow there are sooooo many pairs of jeans I can't wear any more because I'm too big for them...ugh!!  So I decided instead of getting depressed and eating some ice cream or cookies to feel better...I'm going to go ahead and do what I've been promising myself I'd do for a long time now.  I'm going to get healthy...well as much as I can considering I'm a smoker too (hey lol one battle at a time XD).  So I'm joining this online group so that I can talk to other people who are like me and struggling with weight issues.  I may not manage to lose a lot of weight and that's okay but I need to feel healthier and better about myself at the same time.  Hopefully getting rid of the crappy stuff I eat all the time and exercising more will lead to weight loss too.
