I'm 23 years old and I can not remember a time in my life when I have felt completely happy with my body. I have come to terms with the fact that I will never be a size 2 super model, but I have decided to do what I can to get healthy mentally and physically. I feel that I am wasting my youth being overweight and I want to lose enough to look and feel great before it's too late! I realize that I need to change my lifestyle and habits entirely which is hard, but I am really, REALLY determined! Losing 5 pounds so far has already made me feel happier and healthier and I can't wait to continue making healthy choices and looking better and better!
