I'm starting this blog, not only to motivate me and keep me on track but also so that later, I can look back and see what I looked like and how I felt about exercise and most importantly, how I feel about myself.
My current weight is 140 pounds. I'm not happy with how I look and I'm definitively not happy with how I feel. I'm always tired and I can't walk up two flights of steps without feeling winded. I've always been part of at least one sport (Soccer in elementary, volleyball in middle school and tennis and marching band in high school) and yet, I've never been thin or even close to being thin. I've always been chubby and overweight. The lightest I ever remember being was in middle school when my mom and I were living in our condo while my dad got our house ready. My mom had decided to try to lose weight so we moved our treadmill into her room and made a goal to lose weight. We both lost quite a bit of weight. I got down to 125ish while my mom did amazing and felt so good, she went out and bought a bikini. I was so proud of her, and we both felt great. I still wasn't where I wanted to be but I still felt better than I did before. But that feeling didn't last very last for either of us. We both gained everything back when we moved back in with my dad and started eating my dad's cooking again. We went from eating lean pockets and popcorn to eating fried chicken and hamburgers with chips.
After watching years of the Biggest Loser with my mom, I'm come to realize that if they can do it, so can I. They are 300 pounds and 40 years old. I'm a seventeen year old who weights 140 pounds. I can do this.
