Hi, first I REALLY commend everyone in here tryin to lose weight, cuze it most certainly is hard. Now, I will say I am 5'5 and weighed 110, give or take 3 pounds till I was 18. I didn't even think about my weight then, I could eat anything. I got up to 123 or so 18-23, then I started stripping. I did that for four years, and I lost all that weight, back down to 110 and extremely muscular. I was 4 pounds underweight, but I felt GREAT. I quit dancing, and got extremely interested in working out because I didn't want to lose the muscle and I felt amazing. Well, I came to find out it was going to be alot harder than i thought, and I didn't do so well at first....the dancing kept weight off from crappy food I ate. Over time, I started eating healthier. I gained about 5 or 10 pounds, which was perfect.
THEN, last year I was taken off methadone, a highly addictive substance I had been on for 6 1/2 years. My mental state was demolished, and in about two months I gained 15 pounds, I was up to 135. I was so sick I didn't even realize it. I almost lost it when I realized how much I had to lose to get back to where I am comfortable. I am down to about 124 or so, but I still would like to lose more.
Here is my question....people say to be happy with your body, you're skinny already you don't need to lose weight etc etc....Now, I don't think I NEED to lose weight, but I don't like the way the weight I have feels on my body, especially my legs. I can't stand it!! Is this just me or is it because I am technically supposed to be smaller??? I NEVER would have gained the weight to begin with had I been in my right mind. I'm a very small boned girl. It just doesn't feel right to have the extra weight on, so I have to lose it. That and I am very into being in perfect shape. I like to be skinny!! My mom is 56 years old and she is about 115. My goal is 117 or so.
My friends say "don't lose anymore" or "you'll lose your ass" and "guys like thicker thighs" but quite frankly, I don't care what anyone else likes, I care about what I like and what feels good!! I don't care if I lose my ass! LOL
