I’ve always been big like a lot of bigger people. I remember always being upset about my weight and never taking full body photos or even wanting to look at my body as young as 8. I grew up and continued to gain weight I remember being 180 by sixth grade and then 240 by my freshman year of high school and that was embarrassing. As a girl who had to change and do mandatory PE I was so scared of what everyone else thought and my weight it constantly stood over me. Every time I sat down I would stare at my thighs, I would do the shirt pull to make my stomach look smaller and I would wear the baggiest hoodies I could find. I just ended my sophomore year of high school and as this whole corona virus thing started some how I decided I wanted to loose weight. I started may 6th and honestly didn’t expect much I exercised in my room alone, I cut my calories down to about 1,200 and just went for it. A few weeks later I got curios and I hadn’t checked my weight since freshman year and wanted to know where I was at, 270. The worst think I could I have imagined after so much work I was still so fat and was almost at the end of my at home scale I felt so depressed and defeated but I didn’t give up. I cut a few more calories and began working out harder in the next few weeks I was at 265 and then 263 and I felt amazing that not only was I losing weight but I was doing it for me. I quit exercising because I live in a very hot state and don’t have AC but I found a healthy calorie goal to stick with, I was drinking 8 bottles of water a day and was feeling better than ever. Today June 27th I’m at 253 pounds. I feel so much happier and feel so empowered and as if I can do anything. Of course I’ve had some moments where the scale wouldn’t move for days or weeks and I felt down but I figured it out and went through it. This is one of the best life choices I’ve ever made and I can’t wait till I get to my goal of 160 pounds.
