Got to start somewhere right?
I've been struggling with weight since middle school. I was a active kid who was outside all the time and skinny. Then between my 5th and 6th grade year my parents up and moved. I went from having lots of friends and a mom that was a house keeper, in a smaller town that was safe in my neighborhood. To having no friends, and having a mom that owned a business (meaning she worked 12 hours a day), and a larger town that going outside was not really recommended as much for kids. I sat at home and ate crap.
In high school I was never really made fun of for my weight but I was on the heavier side. I saw my weight continue to go up as I moved through those years. Freshman year I wore a size 13, sophomore year a 15, junior year a 18, and by senior year a 20.
In college I stayed about the same.
Then August of 2008 I decided I really needed to do something about this weight problem. I was taking a trip to Europe in the summer of 2009 and I wanted to be more comfortable. In August I was at 252 and started working my tail off. In Feb. 2009 I was down to 215. I felt great. When my trip came I was about the same as I had been in Feb. but still feeling really good about myself.
After coming back from the trip, however, I have started to put the weight back on. I am within 12lbs of my starting weight from August 2008 and I need to go back in the right direction. I know that I can do it because I was well on my way less than a year ago. I just need to get started again.
My goal weight is 160lbs. I want to get there within the next year.
I am looking for your support and help. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and my struggles better.
