I'm Worth It !

It's not an easy journey but it's sincerely the most rewarding one. I cannot believe how far I've come in the past 2 years. As a sit in my room thinking about the old me and knowing what the new me is capable of now, I'm stunned.

Not too long ago, I was your typical sedentary overweight obese young woman. I was constantly tired, depressed and miserable. I found comfort in food. I was still am your typical loner, never had many friends. I literally watched my body gain each pound over the years but I did nothing to stop it. The typical "start tomorrow diet" and that tomorrow never came ... until May 2008, that is.

I thought I successful at hiding the extra pounds from everybody. I was the only human being on the planet wearing turtlenecks in July convincing people that I was cold. I always made sure to eat less when I was around friends only to binge when I'd get home. I'd eat myself to sleep, I'd eat so much that breathing was nearly impossible. Exercise was not part of my vocabulary. Why did I let myself get so big? I thought it was genetic, I thought I was destined to be fat. Don't get me wrong, I dieted and manage to lose weight ... but by starving myself and the weight always came back with a vengeance.


What's different now? I decided to do something about it. I'm 90 lbs lighter. I'm mentally and physically much stronger. I'm working towards getting a personal training certification & I'd also like to become an aerobics instructor. I'm inspiring people around me, the feeling is great. I've lost a few friends here and there but made tons of new friendships.
