So I've been a chubby kid for a long time. I've never had much care for what I eat or how much I ate. Actually, the summer before my senior year at high school (1.5 years ago) I did lose weight, kind of. I grew about 3-4 inches that summer so it stretched out my weight and when I noticed I liked the change I was able to be more careful about my diet and started to exercise.
Since then a lot of happen, and with the stress of things I lost the ability to care about maintaining my weight and before I knew it here I was, 19 years old standing at 5'5 and weighing somewhere between 210-215 pounds, which never seems to go away.
Recently, I've hit some lows and I realized I can't just sit back and do nothing. I've realized i've closed out my friends, quit my part-time job, become aggressive and anti-social at university, and distant from my family. And that's just not the person I want to be. Now, I know that I am going to have to take things slow, but I am determined to do this.
I've tried in the past to lose weight, but it would last for 2-3 days before I gave into the negative thoughts of thinking that was no chance I could change.
I don't want to finish my final year as a "teen" and go into age 20 feeling the way I do. My birthday is in June, and starting today I want to set some goals to help myself simply feel better.
