Well lets start at the beginning....
I'm 23 and I'm not the tallest person you'll ever meet (5'0) I can't honestly say that I know how much I weigh right now due to the fact that I don't own a scale, however with that said I think I'm somewhere between 150 and 160..ideally I think I would like to loose 30 lbs.
Ever since I can remember I've had a problem with my weight, I was the little chubby girl when I was young. I always played sports when I was in high school, but even then I didn't feel good about myself and I have always had self esteem problems. When I visited my father a couple of years ago, he basically told me (in more or less words) that I was fat and I shouldn't gain anymore weight. Which let me tell you did wonders for my self esteeem!
When I graduated high school I was the heaviest that I have ever been, and going in to college and hearing about the "freshman 15" (gaining 15 lbs freshman year) I was expecting the worst, but hoping that was I wasn't going to gain 15+ lbs. However the exact opposite happened, I had what I like to call a mid-life crisis (actually i just had my heart broken) and lost 20 something lbs. Of course I didn't do it the way that you are supposed to loose weight, but it came off non the less. So then over the next 3 years of college, I got my life back together and along with my life came all of the weight that I had lost.
So here I am, recently graduated from college, just bought a house with my boyfriend, looking to start a new chapter in my life, and wishing that I could feel better about myself. To add to my frustration, I have a friend who also just went through her own life problems and lost about 20 lbs herself, so now she's looking better than ever and I have to hear from EVERYONE how great she looks, while I'm just the fat friend making her look better haha....
I'm just ready to start looking better. Ready to feel better, and ready to watch the biggest looser on tv and not feel like i've done nothing with my life but to feel like I can do exactly what they are doing.
I'm ready for a change, and that change starts today.
p.s- To those of you that read and listen to my ramble, answer questions that I may have, or just have a few words of encouragement, thank you in advance..it means alot to me to be supported
