I have to start somewhere!

Hi, my name is Michelle. I am a single 32 year old student from Canada. I have battled my weight for as long as I can remember as many of my family members have. For many of my working years my diet consisted of cigarettes, coffee, and wine and one meal a day. My weight fluctuated but I was adding on at least 10 permanent pounds per year. I'm 5'10 and 210lbs.
I have been a full-time student for the past 2 years and although I quit smoking, I seem to be drinking more. At least 3 bottles of wine every week. It's my coping mechanism for stress. I am taking correctional studies and a part of my curriculum is Physical fitness; so I started going to the gym 7 months ago. I have not lost a pound! I am definitely stronger, my endurance is so much better, and I feel better overall but I can't seem to stay consistant. My legs are a bit more toned but my clothes are certainly NOT fitting better.
Anyway, it seems I am constantly obsessing about my weight and image and have tried too many diets and cleanses...it's time to get real and hopefully get some positive support.
