I've always been the "heavy" friend, and I'm sick and tired of it! Gaining 20lbs during high school, then 15 during my first 3 years of college made me feel like huge puffy fat roll. My self confidence was seriously hurting, but I tried to lie to myself about it. After getting off the scale when it
got too closer to 180, I decided it had to change. I started working out more and gradually I got my weight down to about 170. I had learned about the Beachbody programs in high school, but I felt self conscious doing them in
front of people, so I was only able to do them off and on, despite the great success I had with them. I was still 40lbs away from a healthy weight for a 5'3" tall person, but the scale wouldn't budge below 170. Then, that October,
I learned about an opportunity to spend 5 weeks in Mexico, living on the beach and doing scuba diving and reef research. I resolved that I would not spend the summer feeling uncomfortable in a swimming suit, so I threw
myself into working out again. It was slow, but I worked down to 165, and had to buy new clothes to take because mine were too big! I had a blast during the summer, and came back 5lbs lighter at 160lbs. Unfortunately, I
vegged out most of the summer and put back those 5 pounds, leaving me at 165. I started working out again, making healthy eating choices, and drink my water, and slowly the weight came back off, and on January 31st, 2008 I weighed in at 159 pounds. I actually cried that day, because it
was the lowest weight I'd been since my junior year in high school! I could kick myself now for it, but I got complacent, and bounced around at 160 until late March of 2008. March 26th my dog, a Pomeranian named Tater tot, died, and it devastated me. I was living alone at the time and between that and the end of school, I lost all motivation to workout. I got so sick for the next month or so the doctors thought I might have mono. Mono was negative, but I never recovered from it, and by August I was up to 168 pounds and had gained inches everywhere. I tried to start working out again, but lost momentum due to work and summer classes. I kept trying to start the program again, but never got it rolling. I stepped on the scale last month and it was back up to 178, and I vowed never again! I'm back on the program, and learning to roll with the punches!
