I'm so excited to finally (hopefully) reach my weight loss goals. I have attempted to lose for about two years now, but as a full time University student, after summer ended, I would make excuses for myself about class being more important, and just not having the time.
My main motivation for this is my own self image. Although to be honest, I never really had a good self image. Looking back on when I was significantly skinnier, and weighed in at about 140, I still felt like I was large. In fact, I felt like a big ol whale. Which I like had a lot to do with the fact that most of my friends at the time were all size 0, so I did;t really have anything to compare myself too.
I would like to look in the mirror and be confident in what I see. I love to swim, but have avoided it because I hated the way I looked in a swimsuit.
My main concern in all of this is excess skin. However, my mother informed me that she never has had any problems with that in her weight loss, nor has my aunt, who has significant and large fluctuations in her weight her entire life. (I think she has swung from a 0 to a 22 to a 2 to a 26) And to be honest, looking at some of the pictures of what some people post of excess skin with the amount of weight I am trying to shed, it doesn't actually look that bad. So fingers crossed!
Thank you for all the support, I couldn't believe it when I logged in today! Thank you so much!
