The reason I'm starting this blog is because I'm sick of being fat. I'm not obese or anything, but I don't look good and I'm ready to change that. In July I weighed 135 pounds, and let me tell you, I LOOKED FAB! I felt good about myself and was eating the way I should. Of course I had the occasional ice-cream or snicker's bar, but I was healthy, and that's what mattered. Then something happened...I went on birthcontrol. Boy did these little pills turn my body upside down. I started to gain weight. Not just a pound or two here and there. I'm talking 10-15 pounds a month!
Now, I'm not going to blame this all on birthcontrol, it was partly me too. Watching the number on the scale steadily increase was depressing, and when I get depressed, I eat. I eat food that makes me feel good.
It's hard to admit this but in a 5 month period I gained a whopping 55 pounds. My clothes no longer fit, I didn't get ready in the morning, and I ate HUGE portions. I was depressed. Being 190 pounds is the heaviest I've ever been IN MY LIFE! Of course people told me I looked fine and was still beautiful... but I didn't see myself that way. So what lit that fire under me your asking? It took going to my Mom and Dad's house over Christmas. People in my home-town had never seen me this large, and I could feel them looking. I didn't even fit into most of my MOM'S clothes! Nothing against my mom, but a 19 year old girl should not be bigger than her mom.
SO! I made goals for myself and started the HCG diet. It is now day #14 of the diet and I've lost a total of 9.4 pounds! I'm not seeing any major difference yet, but I'm feeling better. I have a little less then 20 days left, and I'm hoping to get down to 160 by the time this is over. After that, I'm going to work hard to lose that last 20 pounds.
My ultimate goal is to fit into this swimsuit I got last summer. CUTE HUH!? It's not a polka-dot bikini, but it's close enough for me.
I'm excited about this blog and I hope that I will be able to inspire more people to step up to the plate and start their own weight-loss journey.
