Hello onceIwas and Meghan. I posted this buddy search in two different places, so now I"m confused about where I should post! I wonder if there's a way to merge the two threads? Anyhow, thanks for sharing about yourself, onceIwas. WOw, you're from Saltillo Mexico? Some of my friends from Michigan have been there for a missions trip. I've seen beautiful pictures of that city.

About me: I'm pretty young--22 going onto 23 in April. I, too, am petite and so the little extra weight does affect my health a lot. I'm just really hoping that this is more of a motivation for better health than trying to find security in my looks and such. It's so easy to fall into the mentality that if I'll be happier if I just looked better. But I"m really wanting to just FEEL better--so I've vowed to not weigh myself at all during induction, but just listen to my body and see if I do feel better as I get rid of my addition to carbs.

Anyhow, I hope you two had a wonderful birthday! Meghann, how old are you now?
