My names Vanessa, and i have been struggling with my weight for as long as i can remember. Ive always been bigger than people my age. I wasn't born into a house with a lot of money. I always ate terribly bc that was the food i was given. I always got made fun of by kids in school by my weight which in turn, made me turn to food bc it made me feel happy. Im no longer happy with it, but i still dont have any money to buy healthy foods, or have any time to go out and exercise. I take care of my niece every day, monday thru saturday, 9 am to 7 pm. I dont get paid nearly enough to be able to support myself. I don't have any friends bc my life is consumed by taking care of my niece. I need some tips, or some advice, to be able to get my weight at a healthy number so i can feel healthy and happy for once in my life. I might also add that I'm 5'7'', which i know height is a big thing with weight too, but im still not happy because i dont feel myself as healthy.
