You're a brave girl, I think its a very sensible idea to be honest. If you've had a gutful of being obese and you're quite willing to modify your socialising then you've got the advantage - you're young, your skin will bounce back, your metabolism is good and you should be able to get fit very quickly. Your 20's and early 30's before you settle and have kids can be one of the best, most exciting times of your life and why waste it being fat and miserable?
Not that you wont be able to go out and have a drink with your friends. But 10 beers and a 2 am kebab probably wont work all that well, lol. And when everyone's eating Mcdonalds, you'll be the one buying salad. I like that though, I like being a 'small eater', I always admired the skinny chicks who nibbled on the fries whilst I couldnt resist downing a Big Mac with the guys.
You're past puberty, you've thought about this, if you're willing to make the sacrifices then I for one would only wish you the best of luck and applaud you for taking charge so early in life.
