My weight has been an issue ever since I started High School. I noticed I was getting bigger as the pant sizes went up, shirts became smaller on me, and I would get stared at when I would eat junk food.

This is when things changed.
On April 17,2011 I began my lifestyle change. I started to use my fitness pal for everything. Everything I ate was put into my diary. It was so easy to use it to find how many calories everything had. I hit so many bumpy roads, during the summer because I went on vacation. But I never gave up. I had a vision board in my room filled with pictures for inspiration, and I would see youtube videos and posts of people's progress so I can keep myself motivated. Then november came.....And I lost it with eating...I just ate...and ate...and ate... I had put on 20 of the 60 pounds I had lost. I was so depressed with myself and I felt like food was winning. I just kept on bing eating...and binge eating....and binge eating... I felt like I was in such a downward spiral.

I was so mad at myself for breaking my diet that I deleted my fitness pal and I felt like I would never get back up....Until one day I woke up and said to myself "I will look good for me, and I will not stop because I want to be an inspiration." I wanted that beach body, I wanted to be proud of myself and I wanted other to be proud of me. So I put on my running sneakers and made another my fitnesspal account and I went for a run. My runs would help me think of re-evaluate my life, it also made me feel like I was getting away from my problems. And believe me I needed this escape...I was so busy studying for college..applying to universities....I even battles some eating disorders (but thats another story). And now...I weighed myself last week and I finally weigh under 200 pounds. I haven't weighed this little since freshman year. I could literally write a book about my weight loss but this is just a brief summary. And now I am running 7 miles and feel amazing with my body.
