I do it for the feeling

Ever since I can remember, I've been the chubby one. My sister, who is 2.5 years older than me, was blessed with the slender build, while I took on all of her extra fat. This isn't to say I was obese, but I had enough extra weight that I was unhappy with how I looked. When I started wanting to finally kick myself in the *kitten* and lose some weight, I was 5'2" at 143 lbs. After severe restriction for a while, I realized that the route I should be taking is the slower, steadier one. Today I stand at 5'2" at 121.5 lbs with a goal weight of 115. I would have given up on this a while ago had I not fallen in love. I fell in love with the feeling I got when people started to notice. These weren't just people I saw every once in awhile, but people I see DAILY. Even my boss noticed! I'm just super excited and I wanted to share this with people who can understand. (:
