Hey there! This is the first time posting in this section of the message boards and it feels so amazing!
My story:
Since I was in elementary school, I've always had a weight problem. From grade 2-12, kids would pick on me and say I need to lose weight or that I'm so ugly just because how fat I am. It always hit me hard and because of those people, I believed that I'm ugly and worthless and never tried to change how I look because I thought I could never do it. That I was always meant to be overweight for my whole life. It didn't really hit me until after I left high school that I could lose weight, if I really put my mind to it. However, I found out about this website this year and it's really been helping me A LOT. Like, I don't think I could've lost the 25 pounds I lost without it because it keeps me aware of how many calories something is and I can't overeat with this site! Another thing that's been helping me A LOT recently is my new girlfriend. She's always pushing me and telling me that I can do it! She's lost a quite a bit of weight herself in the past, so she knows what it's like and she could share workouts with me. (: Another thing that is a motivator is my back problem. I have scoliosis and I have to get back surgery one day and the doctors have told me that in order to do it, I have to be down to like 190 pounds. And if I don't, I can be paralyzed. That's the last thing I want!!
Since I've lost 25 pounds so far, I've been feeling more self-confident and amazing that I'm doing so good. It only makes me push harder into losing more weight! I'm on this journey to get down to at least 200. Once I reach that, I'll go from there!
Now, Picture time! I'm not sure if it shows yet... But, I kinda think there's at least a slight difference. And I've been getting comments from family members that I don't see everyday, so that motivated me to post this as well! What do you guys think? (:
