1 year... 19 kgs gone

If you really want to change, you have to begin now. NOT tomorrow morning and not next week, because every little thing that you put in your mouth and every minute of exercise counts. All my life I have been fat. My parents knew about it but did nothing. I always felt awkward in my own skin. I felt like being a different person. I was picked on. I couldn't run 150m without huffing and puffing.

I am an 18 year old teenager whose journey begun when my dad got really sick. He was diagnosed with diabetes. Seeing him in that condition was heartbreaking. I knew that I had to make a change. I slowly started eating healthier and I started exercising. My starting weight was 86kgs. Within 3 months I had lost 10kgs and i weighed 76kgs. During my fourth month I slipped up and gained back 2 kgs. By my fifth month I got back on track. I managed to lose another 9 kgs by the 11th month. I have currently reached a plateau and I feel like I am slipping up again.i am posting this to show myself how far I have come and that I can do it.
