I am the true "weight-loss" story...growing up, I was always a little bigger, and my mom did everything she could to help me to be smaller...in 7th grade I was even on weight watchers! I became so obsessed with my weight that it consumed my life my senior year of highschool.
Going to college saved my life -- I was happy..but it also made me gain all of my weight back. I have always been the biggest of my friends..not the "fattest," but the biggest -- At 5 10'' I am by far the tallest of all my girlfriends and understand that I will never weigh 120 like them! After 4 years around my skinny friends, i began to watch what i was eating, and stay active! Before I knew it, I felt confident...I was not "skinny" by any means, but I was comfortable at 149 lb!
After graduating from college and feeling my most confident in a LONG time, I was excited to enter the real world and lose more weight. However, I am now in a working environment where all of my fellow employees could care less about what they eat and how much they weigh. I stuggle to stay on track when I am with them..I eat turkey on a wheat wrap while they eat chick-fil-a nuggets and large fries. I have no set schedule from week to week at work, and am somehow up to 164 lb, not even understanding how I have gained that much weight since graduation...
Its sad when no one aroud you thinks you can lose weight -- my weight has always been a battle, and I have never had the "prove them wrong" attitude...until now!!!
I am ready to prove them wrong
