i was never really over weight but then 3 years ago i had jaw surgery so i was not aloud to eat anything other then liquid food by the time i was able to eat again i ate everything i could and more with in a year or so i shot up to my heighest of 167 pounds i had NEVER been that heavy before
it really started to get to me when i could not fit into the pants that used to fall off of me but some how i still kept eating things i should not
then last summer i had it! i was sick of the way i looked and sick of being called fat all the time so i did something about it and changed my ways of eating
when i would go out insted of the usal burger or pizza i would have a small salad or soup for dinner i would eat light chicken no salt and some veggies :)
small changes like this and i noticed some weight comming off around the same time my mom was diagnosted with cancer and i guess it really got to me by making so nervouse that i could NOT keep any food down with out getting sick so that also caused me to lose alot
many things were just going wrong at the time and i always felt so sick i could NOT eat in fear i would get even sicker

around oct i finally started to feel better and i had seen so much weight come off that i knew i had to keep this up
i joined a gym eventuly and still kept to my better eating habbits

though i saw the scale going down i still felt really big and saw my self really fat so i started doing things that i thought would make me thin :( i ended up in councling cuz it got that bad ... im doing better now though :)
im trying my best to NOT go back to my freaky eating disoder though every single day its a HUGE strugle to just eat and make my self keep the food down and not worry so much

i went from a size XL to M and pants from 11 to a 6 :)
i still go to gym and im trying my best
i know this isnt those YAY she did so well stories but i still did lose weight and still want to lose maybe 15 more :)

this is me at 167 (and im squeezing into 2 grudles so i wouldnt look as big )

    i know this isnt those YAY she did so well stories but i still did lose weight and still want to lose maybe 15 more :)

    I disagree! It may not be a "YAY she did so well" story, but it *IS* a "YAY she's DOING so well" story! Your life hasn't been easy lately. You could be sitting around feeling sorry for yourself, but you aren't. That definitely deserves recognition. I think you're AWESOME!
