I have struggled with my weight ever since i can remember. I can remember always being slightly bigger than other people my age, even in elementary school. I think that just knowing this always had me thinking negative, which caused me to gain more weight throughout middle school. Throughout high school, my weight was pretty steady but I was still always comparing myself to others. This is my start of not comparing myself to others, but rather comparing myself to who I want to be! I am not ashamed of my weight currently (even though I know I am overweight), but I am afraid that if I continue to gain weight slowly then it will get out of control fast. On November 1, 2014, I will start my "diet". I hate that word! But I am looking forward to a better, healthier me, and I will try to keep this updated as much as I can with my busy life!
