I finally feel like things might actually be falling into place.
I have always struggled with my weight and my self esteem (my inner demons) however, right now I'm in a good place and losing weight on the regular while still enjoying my life and feeling good. Weight watchers has allowed me this for the most part.
I have always considered myself the fat girl, even when I was at my smallest weight of 140lbs. But I have always seen myself as an overweight person. Along with that, once I reached my goal weight I was never able to maintain it, it always creeped back on. I admit I didn't always eat as well as I should have.
But its as if three years went by and I gained about 50lbs. It seemed like a slow progression at first, then I woke up one day and I realized I was 50lbs heavier than I originally was.
Finally I was tired of feeling sorry for myself, so deep in my depression I decided to do something. I asked my family to help me by getting me weight watchers for christmas. They did, and since November I have managed to lose 15lbs.
It feels awesome.
Thats when I was approached by a friend to try a diet bet, even if I didnt lose the lbs I needed to (which I'm positive I will) I will have some added motivation and other people to talk about with similar stories.
That picture on the right is what sparked the fire in me to make a difference in my life, the picture on the left is a much happier me 15lbs lighter. I still have a long way to go, but I will get there.
