Hi guys,
Im shalla, im 24 and Im a food-aholic haha. I have tried to lose, and tried to lose and I dont lose anything, so I get discouraged and figure I might as well eat what I want if Im not going to lose. Recently however I was at my cousins house(easter to be exact) in the bathroom and I looked in the mirror and I was disgusted at what I saw, I just said "no more" and I think for the first time...I meant it. I am taking back my life, I am taking back control of my weight, I am taking back my appearence..I want to do it for me, not so others will like what they see, I want to like what I see. I have been on my own diet for 3 weeks, and Ive lost 8lbs today. most days Im proud of how Im doing, but days like today Im thinking "only 8lbs!?
" its hard sometimes, and I know there are weeks when I wont lose weight, but Ill lose inches, I know there will be weeks when I wont lose anything...and I cant get discouraged, I need to stay with it..I need to make it happen this time.
goals: my first goal is 210, and Im 8 lbs away. My second goal is 199(I will cry I think when I break 200) and thats an important goal to me, Im seeing my favorite singer Clay Aiken on August 1st, and I want to get down to 199 before that date....crossing my fingers for that! my eventual goal is 150 which is 80lbs from my starting weight.
Why am I here? I am here to meet people who struggle like I do..you know, its easy for my family and friends to say Im wonderful the way I am, but they dont live my life everyday, I need to be around people that can encourage me, applaud me, let me vent and cry and talk about the weight issue..people that understand.
things I like to do: I am an aspiring writer, lately Ive been really into songs, I love lyrics and I think that they can really tell YOUR story, and thats important to me...I also want to write a little of everything, kids book..novel..magazine articles etc I have ambitions. Im a BIG movie person, and kind of a movie snob...I watch most movies at least once, and know if they are good or bad hehe. I have rarely stopped a movie in the middle, so if I do you know that it is bad. like I said, Im a HUGE HUGE HUGE clay aiken fan, I have seen him 10 times, working on 13 this summer..what can I say...he inspires me.
I guess thats me, if you got through this wordy introduction then I applaud you, and I look forward to getting to know each one of you. If you are discouraged and just need someone to scream to, pm me..Im a good listener.
