Starting the adventure

I've had a weight problem my whole life. If I remember correctly my family started telling me I was fat since I was 2. Looking back @ the pictures I now realize that I wasn’t “FAT” I was just taller and there for I looked bigger. So I believed that I was fat for most of my childhood and by my teens I was really fat. By age 14 and 5’3 I already weighted 220lb and by age 19 and 5’4 I got to 250. I decided that I had to lose weight so I started eating “healthy” and going to the gym 1 hr every day (even Sundays). The first month I lost 10 lb. I was soooooo happy, so my diet became more strict every time. By the 2nd month I was 25 lb lighter. I started to go to the gym 2-4 hrs every day, and I started eating 1 “big meal” a day and I wouldn’t eat anything else after 4:00 pm, and 6 month after the 1st day I started my diet, I had lost 125 lb. I was wearing a size 10-12 in the top and a 14 in the bottom. I was so so so so happy!!!. But like it usually happens with extreme dieting, when the enchantment is gone and the diet becomes boring, and 4 hrs a day in the gym are not fun anymore, old habits come back, and a year and 5 month after I was in the weight I started plus 35 lb more. So by 23 years old I weighted 285 lb, no self-steam and having no will to do anything. Thankfully I didn’t gain anymore weight and now @ 26 years old I decided to do it again. Trying a healthier option and exercising more.







January 18, 2009 I joined thedailyplate.com / the Jackson’s 100 lb challenge I really get a lot of support there and is very comforting to know that there are other people out there with the same problem and have the will to fix it.
