One of my main obstacles to overcome has been realizing that I will NEVER weigh 150 pounds. I am obviously above average in the height department (6'3"), and one of my downfalls is that I'm always hearing about little short girls and their weight goals being around 140. This always made me feel inadequate. I had to come to terms with the fact that I will NEVER weigh that little, and even if I did, I would not be healthy in any way shape or form. I have to be a healthy weight for ME, not a healthy weight for a 5'5" girl.
At first it was easy. For some reason, it all just made sense. I ate only what my points allowed me in a day. I exercised sporadically. And I lost. Then, I hit a wall. I wasn't losing anymore, and in fact, I gained during two weeks. This put me in a depression, and instead of doing something about it, I ate some more. Which obviously didn't help either. I had previously set my goal to be at 200 by graduation (May 15, 2004!), but I have now realized that I may not make this goal. But I am not going to let that discourage me this time!
I guess the reason I am making this website is I need to have more motivation. I seem to forget why losing weight feels so good every time I dive into the refrigerator for yet another ice cream sandwich. So I'll put my pictures on here that have motivated me the most. The turning point pictures. The ones where my double chin is pronouned, and my arm fat is flapping away.
My main goal is to be happy with my body.... When I am with a guy (doesn't happen too often, but occationally), I want to feel confident and sexy. Not fat and wanting to cover myself up with anything that happens to be lying around. Wish me luck, and I wish everyone else luck with their weight loss goals!
