Hello everyone,
My name is Katherine and I felt it was necessary to make this diary to help me express my feelings and my difficulty while I go through the long and hard process of changing my life. I will post feelings, updates, and maybe even some pictures to help you get to know me more as a person, and hopefully eventually to help inspire you. Whether it be to NOT let yourself get this far, or to make you kick your butt and start working hard! Be committed!
So to help you get to know me, as a person, I will tell you a bit about me I guess? I am 17, born Feb 9th, 1993. I am classified as morbidly obese, weighing 299 lbs.
I live in Ontario, Canada. Always have, and I love it. The cold is awesome, but I don't live in an igloo, and NO it is not always cold it. In fact, I heard temperatures in the US actually are very similar to the temperatures here.
I am currently attending high school, and even though you'd think this year would be my last, I have another to go. I was in an accident Jan 31st, 2008. I was hit by a truck, and I broke my femur bone. A month and a bit into a new relationship with an amazing person I met online, I felt that by the time I was out, he would've forgotten all about me. Bored out of my mind in this hospital for 2 weeks, I was finally able to leave my room, and go to a kids lounge down a few floors. They had computers. I instantly went onto Myspace, and found all sorts of messages from my boyfriend. I replied, telling him I was fine, and left him a number. He called me later, and every other day for the last week I was there. It was amazing. <3 But yea, due to this accident, I missed the last half of grade 9, and since then have been in this ditch. I just don't want to go. But I'm trying, and I will graduate.
Matthew John Morrison, you are amazing. 3 years now we have been together, and it just feels so right. We have our fights, and little fits here and there, but everyone does.
So yea, that is just a bit about me, probably more than you wanted to know though. I will continue to post updates and entries when the feelings strike.
It was nice meeting you all!

How much weight do you want to lose?
I would like to lose 164 lbs.
What is the time frame for reaching your target weight?
A lifetime. I don't want to set a time frame. Then I feel like it's just a 2 month diet, and not a lifestyle change. I want to commit to a healthy eating plan and stick to it. I want this to be long term. This is not a diet. This is me, restarting my life.
How do you want to accomplish your goal (what methods do you want to use)?
I will start by counting calories, and taking walks. I will try to get my ATLEAST 30 mins of exercise in everyday. I will drink more, because 1 drink a day is not healthy. As I lose weight, it will become easier to exercise, and the high risk of hurting myself won't be there anymore. I will then begin to gradually get into an exercise routine that suit my lifestyle at that point in time. Being a teenager, almost done in high school means my schedule isn't always going to be the same. I want to make this work.
Who or what can support you in reaching your goal?
My mom is there to support me, as we are doing this together, my boyfriend will support me all the way as he always does, my friend Raylene, and you guys I hope! Any support is still support. I'll take whatever you've got!
How realistic is your goal?
I don't see anything unrealistic about trying to change your life, and starting over. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be healthier.
When will you start?
