my struggle with weight loss has been a huge roller coaster. I remember crying my freshman year of high school because my bestfriend always got all the hot guys, while i was just the fat one. Or when i got the news that if i don’t lose weight, i will have diabetes in 5 years. that was the scariest thing in the world. My whole family is thin, and i am just the fat one. It was a hard thing to accept, very hard trust me. But one day i woke up, and looked in the mirror and told myself “YOU CAN DO THIS” . I talked to my mom, my doctor, and my best friend, and told them my plans : I was going to do weight watchers, work out a lot, and be healthy. Thats exactly what i have done. And I couldn’t tell you how happy i am that i am finally getting the body and health that i have always wanted. It feels great. That morning, when i gave myself a reality check is my most appreciated step ever. I am proud of myself. I have lost over 20lbs in 1 1/2 months. Your blog was also much inspiration for me, i would go look at your healthy recipies, and such. Since i have been losing weight, all the guys that never gave me the time of day before, are (surprise surprise) talking to me! I think its funny though, because if you couldn’t love me when i was fat, you can’t love me now. The only thing that changed was my outer appearance, my heart was always the same. thank you molly for your inspiration, and thanks for the chance to be in this contest :)
