Obesity is kind of a recurring theme in my family. We're Puerto Rican and LOVE food, so it's hard to ignore the good stuff. My mom always jokes around with me and says "I'm going to save you my pants for when you get older". That's what motivates me to try and lose a bit of weight while I'm still young. Apparently I'm slightly overweight, and always have been. Also I want to feel comfortable in a bathing suit! It's almost summer time. I'm more concerned with looking better, and feeling better not the amount that I weigh.
