This made my day! I am 5'4 as well and I seem to fluctuate a good 15 lbs from year to year. Constantly trying the latest fads and riding that awful roller coaster. I recently just got fed up. Joined mfp and started working out. mfp has been very eye opening and I am looking forward to what is to come...congrats and most of all thank you!!!! (by the way, has anyone ever told you you look like Kristin from the hills?)0

I used to be one of "those" girls, and it wasn't all it's cracked up to be. I was naturally skinny. I ate all sorts of greasy food and it didn't matter. I never worked out. I was just thin, and that was it. Everyone had something to say about it and I didn't get why, because I didn't do anything. That's just how I was.
Then, my circumstances changed, and I gained. I became chubby. Everyone left me alone. I didn't mind being fat for the most part. I could still find enough clothes that fit, and I quite enjoyed being ignored by the public. I realized that I needed to lose the weight because I needed to be healthy.
I am losing now and as people are bringing the compliments back in, I actually accept them, because this time, I earned this body. I work hard to be thinner.
However, I would never, ever, lose weight to make someone admire me. I'd rather be fat. I lose weight so I can be healthy, and run, jump, and play. I could care less if I look nice in someone else's eyes.0 -
You're singing' my song, girl. Thank you for the encouragement. You look fantastic!0
