I've lived most of my life as the "quiet fat kid". Although I wasn't a complete social reject, I did manage to get comments such as, "You're so fat, the whales sing we are family!"

At the age of sixteen, I finally grew sick of it. Puberty did some pretty nasty things to my already chubby body. In the end, it began to chip away at my self-confidence as well. I admit, I'm not the most confident person in the entire world. However, I'm trying my best to ameliorate that situation.

I'm on my journey to finally be "110 lbs". (Or even less than that if I make it there!) It's not just about social acceptance. It's about a love for myself that I lost so long ago. I want it back, and I'm going to get it back, guys. ;D

Here are some photos from my "beginning" at 149 lbs:




And some current photos at 135 :




:] As you can see in my ticker, I still have about 25 lbs to go. I'm determined to get there!

Comments are greatly, greatly appreciated! Thanks, guys!

Heh, thanks so much for the feedback! I really appreciate it.

Frankly speaking, it took a while. Although I had the "I-need-to-diet" statement in my mind, I didn't act on it continuously. I had my really bad cycles when I gave up for quite some time. At other intervals I kicked up the physical exertion and tried to eat healthier.

It...took time, yes, it did. If I stuck to exercising and "dieting" consistently, I would've probably been at my goal weight by now. However, I did some very, very inconsistent "diets". Indeed, I managed to lose a bit...which is good. But, I'm going to try it the old-fashioned way now. No more giving up.

My exercises were either 45 minutes on the treadmill or some random bursts of various dance videos and turbo jam. :] Understand that these came at most once or twice a week.

The only thing one needs to lose weight is devotion and patience, really!

@sirant: Haha, thanks so much, dear! I really, really appreciate it. C: It motivates me to no end.

:] Thanks so much! Your support really keeps me going.

And, I'd be more than happy to tell you how tall I am. I'm not tall. Er...at all, really. I'm only 5'2, which is one of the reasons why I want to lose more weight.
