As I write this, I am wearing a gorgeous red halter dress that I wore to a formal event during the spring of my freshman year of college. I have now recently graduated, and I notice the remarkable changes that my body has undergone during the last three years. As a matter of fact, ten minutes ago I pulled out all of the dresses from my closet that used to fit me, but now no longer do.
Most of the weight has gone straight to my ass, outer thighs, and hips; giving me a very strange shape. I look absolutely ridiculous in this dress, and I am baffled at how I let myself get to this point.
"How is it that your waist is so small, but your ass is so big?" is the question I frequently hear. Among these comments are, "Are you wearing padding?", "Damn girl, your ass is enormous", and one time even, "Wow, your ass is so huge, it looks like it belongs to two people".
What happened? In high school I experienced the same situation. I came in slender and confident enough to wear a miniskirt. But by my junior year I got really chunky. So I started exercising, I started playing lacrosse and obsessively dieting. By my freshman year of college, my weight ranged between 145-150. I wasn't thrilled with it, I knew I could lose more weight, but at least I could still wear a miniskirt and go to the beach and not be ashamed of my body in a bikini. By the spring of my freshman year, I had gone down to 130. And then, something snapped. Between my sophomore and junior years I had ballooned up to 180 pounds. This past summer I was able to shed a good amount off, and started off my senior fall in the 160s.
But now I'm back up to 173 with a BMI of 27. It's not 180, but it still hurts. My confidence is shot and I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror. Much of my life my weight has gone up and down dramatically. I just want it to stop. I've been making so many excuses for myself to why I can't start today. "I can't exercise today because I don't like to run on a full stomach.", "I'm tired, I'll just do it tomorrow."
Tomorrow is finally here. I've been avoiding this site like the plague because my last weight was 158, and now it's gone up so much. It's embarrassing. But it's okay, because a lot of the weight that I have on right now is just water weight and will come off with the right diet and exercise.
This morning, I got up at 7.30 and ran 1.2 miles. I used to be able to run 4 miles in an hour, but I could only muster up the strength today for 1.2. That will do for now. Tonight, I will run another 1.2 miles, and maybe even make it to 2.4.
I want to start holding myself accountable. Last night for dinner I had chips & a bowl of queso and 6 fried eggs. This morning I had a mini food hangover and didn't want to run until my stomach felt less bloated. But I told myself that I was worth it and needed this, so I ran anyways.
It's a small step, but I anticipate being able to take huge strides soon. I've gotten very discouraged recently, but I know that losing this excess weight is something I can do NOW. I have too many cute and expensive clothes that I just can't bear to donate to Goodwill.
This is me, finally owning up to my incredibly poor performance.
Inside of me is a thin, hot chick fighting to come out. This is me, saying that I will no longer sedate her with fried chicken and cupcakes.
