I know that that it sounds weird, but now I am willing to admit that my weight is way to high and I need to lose it. I am only 16 years old, and I weigh 239 pounds. The first real step I am willing to admit that I need to fix this problem. I tried before to lose weight, but it didn't work. This time it will. I have time before summer to make myself a much healthier and all around better person. This extra weight adds a sense of insecurity with myself, and I want to be happy without worrying what people think about my looks.

I am working on eating healthier and making myself stop eating when I am no longer hungry. I realize being completely full is past being "no longer hungry". Eat to live, don't live to eat, I guess. I think I have been eating a lot due to stress, and I have to change that.


I AM (I'm not just telling myself this without actaully doing it) going to start going down the the gym every day and use the stationary bikes and machines to make myself healthier. I play Ultimate Frisbee for my school team and I get great exercise with that. I also do fencing every other day, which is an amazing sport and a good workout. I want to have fun with this, and I love a challenge, I am not going to give up on this.


If you have any support, it would be appreciated.

"Eat to live, don't live to eat, I guess."

It sounds so simple and it's so damn true. This helped me a lot. When I realized I should be eating out of necessity rather than something to do, the weight just started to fall off. To look back at how I used to live I'm just disgusted with myself. It was all just a waste.
