My BIG Change

Hello Weight Loss Friends:) 


I was in the tanning bed today, and there's nothing else to do in there but to think..so I was thinking, probably 85% of the people the read this don't personally know me. I wanted to write a post all about me. So you readers will know more of who I am. 


I am 21 years old and I live in Florida. I have been struggling with my weight, it seems like my whole life. When I was in middle school, I was a size 12. I thought I was big then I would always wear a matching set of windbreaker pants and a shirt from Aeropostale. [If anyone from middle school is reading this, they are probably laughing because they know it's true!] I've never been comfortable in my own body. Ever. I never really payed a lot of attention to it while I was younger. When I started high school, I weighed 160lbs and thought I was fat. In freshman year, I met my now Fiance, and throughout the 6 years we have been together, I have gained 80lbs. It obviously wasn't over night. We always  and still do go out to eat. Its always been something we've done. We don't really go shopping, movies or things like that, we like to go out to eat together. He is the best thing that has happened to me. He cares so much about me, and loves me for every pound of weight I have on me, but wants me to be happy. [and i'm not] He supports me in everything I decide to do, and I couldn't ask for anyone better to have in my life. He works out any chance he gets, so he's helpful to have around when I have a question:) 
My sister is also working out and losing weight. I think my weight loss journey has brought my sister and I closer. I know that when she doesn't call me one day, and I don't call her..that we haven't worked out! We always call each other at least once a day to see what we did at the gym. She hasn't seen so much pounds gone as she has inches [she's lost a lot of inches!] I am very proud of her! 
My dad is going to Seminary School to be a pastor and my mom is along for the journey with him. She's working in Dermatology right now. My mom and dad have supported me throughout my entire life. I really do appreciate all their advice, even though sometimes I might not show it. 


So there's a little about myself. Thank you all for reading this blog. It means a lot to me. I have been getting messages from people I don't even know, wanting to hear my story. It makes me so happy and really is going to help me get through this journey!! 


I just want everyone to know, if you are struggling, YOU CAN DO IT! If I can, ANYONE CAN! I have been saying I've wanted to lose weight for years and never did. If you want it bad enough, you can do it!
