Argh. So lets see.
I'm younger, I'll admit. My highest weight was 180 at about 5'5, and let me tell you, people on here are ALOT stronger than I am. I definantly wouldn't have the motivation to lose all that weight. It's quite the inspiration to read about the success stories of folks and all.
Anyways, as I said, my highest weight was 180. To be honest, I hate the fact that this sounds so cliche, but I blame it on my father. He had been feeding me McDonalds every single day. EVERY SINGLE DAY. Do you know the McGriddle sandwiches they have? Well I ate one of them every single morning for about 3 years. A 12 year old just can't live like that, and it was about 14 before I realized, "Wow. If I keep going the way I'm going, I'm really going to end up a very unhappy person..." it was the summer that I had cut all my hair off into a short bob that it actually hit me that I was enormous for such a young age.
Flash forward to the 8th grade. I was 14, as I said, and around November of that year (whenever that was), I realized that I needed to lose the "baby weight". So me and my mother joined Weight Watchers, and honest to god it was BRILLIANT. Weight Watchers worked for me so well, that even at such a young naive age, I still lost it, I still learned to eat healthy, and I learned to appreciate myself as a human being basically.
Flash forward, I hit my low of 148 pounds, and then for some odd reason or another, we quit weight watchers.
Then cut to the end of my 8th grade year where I developed a horrible cycle of starvation and binging. I would avoid my friends at lunch and on weekends just so I wouldn't be put into a position to eat. I hid food, and when I binged, I'd feel so horrible that I would run to the bathroom and puke it up.
On and off, this happened, and my lowest was 141, which may not seem that bad but when you consider how often I starved vs how often I thought "No! For once I'm going to be happy with myself!" and binged and gained it back and felt horrible, it evens out.
So cut to me giving up on my weight loss, and learning from one of my best friends that eating disorders are for lazy slobs who are too ignorant to figure out a smarter way to lose the weight.
Since 8th, I've been in between 150-157. For a while, I was near the higher end of the spectrum, and recently (about 2 weeks ago), I've decided to rejoin weight watchers. So far, I've had a successful go with losing 5.6 pounds in 2 weeks, which is great, and I feel great.
My goal is 120. My mom tells me that I'll look emaciated, but in all truthiness, I dont think I will. If I continue eating healthy, my body will eventually form itself into its healthy chosen weight. When it reaches that (which I'm hoping is about 120
), I will finally be happy with myself.
FYE, I'm 5'5, and I'm 16.
This past weekend I've just broken up with my very close boyfriend... so the reason I only lost 1.6 was because I was crying half the week over a cup of ben and jerry's double fudge icecream
I'll be sure to update my progress as it goes along. Weight watchers is heaven sent.

Its been working out pretty well so far. I've been losing around a steady 1.4 pounds a week. So far during this run I'm down 7.2, so its working pretty well. Hopefully this time it'll work out and I wont have to force myself to try drastic things to get temporary results. Weight Watchers has been a real big help for me.
! I know I'm 16 -___- I've been 16 for about 5 months or so also... so yeah. Pretty bad, but I'm glad I finally forced myself to get my ass up and go get it. Then me and my mom drove to this "wealthier" thrift store in the upper class side of town called "Goodwill Boutique" (I know... I lol'd too), and I bought a form fitting dark green turtle neck, which surprisingly looks amazing. I honestly like... have never actually worn a shirt where I was like "DAMN" but this one was it.
) broke near the pedals, so if I ride, I'm all alone (another strain on me exercising). I'll just try to bring my stun gun along with me in case some homeless folks try to mug my pudgy ass.
