<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

I never know how to start these things but here it goes: I want to lose weight. Back in high school when I was playing water polo like it was my job, my only insecurity came from my inability to speak to another person without stumbling over my words and blushing like an idiot. I was never worried about what the scale said or what I ate because I knew I looked healthy and athletic and I was in the pool for an absurd amount of time every day. 

After a series of unfortunate events (crazy ex, car accident, chronic injuries, the list goes on), I had to give up my water polo dreams and focus on school. College comes around and due to alcohol, birth control, dining halls…I've now found myself in a position where I'm not comfortable in my own skin. Which is such a shame because I finally overcame being socially awkward.

So, I'm looking to ultimately lose 30 pounds. I'm 21, 5'11", and hovering around 190 (and I'm terrified I'm going to start flirting with 200 so I want to go in the opposite direction as soon as possible). I have a MFP account but I've had trouble sticking to it. And I realized it's because I'm doing it alone. I've played team sports my whole life and I think it's that camaraderie and the responsibility to hold your teammates accountable for their mistakes that I'm missing in this. 

Hopefully this is the right place ☺
