New account just for my new journey. Hey everyone!
I’ve always been insecure about my weight. I grew up hoping and wishing that the next year would offer me happiness and an escape from the constant torturing, teasing, and unhappiness that I faced every single day. This started around age 6. Looking back now, I was beautiful the way I was, and was never truly “fat”, but more slightly overweight.
It’s weird how that happens when you look back at yourself and think “damn, I’d give anything to look like that again!”, even though you were insecure then as well!
When I reached tenth grade, I had a realization that I could, and would, prove everyone wrong and become the fit girl after a breakup. I spent the whole summer running and working my ASS off - losing 30 lbs. I ended up at 115lbs at 5’1, and was in the best shape of my life.
Of course, that can’t be the end though, or I wouldn’t be writing this now (darn!) :)
After an injury, I gained it all back, and way more than before. Now in my almost mid-twenties, I am in my first week of trying to take control of my life and weight. Recently graduating university, and getting ready for my wedding next year, I totally need to do this and be kinder to myself.
I had a family member refer to me two weeks ago as “that’s my big girl” and it broke my heart. I got home, cried, and stared at myself in the mirror. Weighing in last week at 167lbs and 5’1, I’ve decided enough is enough.
Anyways, I guess I’m just here looking for some welcome and acceptance. I know I can do this. I have a tentative goal of reaching 130lbs at some point in October! I’ve been going to the gym for 30 mins a day, every day, as well as healthier eating and water consumption.
Good luck everyone! Let’s kick ass!
