Here is a secret, I have not told anyone my weight until I got on this site. I even battled the doctor and refused to get on the scale. It was bad. And no one has known my pant size since high school. I was a size 8 then, after I was attacked I hid myself and started hiding behind my weight and making myself feel better with food. Starting last October I decided I was ready to stop hiding and start a weight loss journey, I want to feel pretty again and not scared. This is hard for me to admit or even put it out there but Starting in October 2016 I was 362 lbs and a pant size of 34.........As of today May 26, 2017 I weigh 336lbs and a pant size of 24. It may not seem a lot to some because I am still so large, but I have dropped ten pant sizes and feel stronger physically and mentally then I have in a very long time. I use to make jokes that the skinny girl I once was had been eaten by the fat me now. I am ready to take my life back and in 10 pant sizes I think I have made a huge investment in myself! I say to everyone else, you can do this the only one in your way is yourself. And the best investment you can ever make in life is an investment for your own health and well being.
