day 1

Today I have decided to create a blog about my weight loss.  I hope that this will motivate me to lose weight faster.  I have always been overweight, but in the last two years, it has gone from bad to worse.  I weighed the same amount from the age of 15 until I was 22.  I was not happy at that weight, but at least it was manageable.  I was overweight, but I was healthy.   It started when I was in a car accident that left me with a minor spinal injury.  I could not exercise for about six months and that was the start of the extreme weight gain.  By the time I could finally work out again, I had gained so much weight that I don’t know how I can ever lose it all.  I am so sick of being fat.  I feel sad and alone in this battle.

I have tried so many things that didn’t work out. No pun intended.  Before the accident, I was running 30 miles a week.  Now, it is so difficult to even run one mile.  The extra weight has slowed me down.  None of my clothes fit anymore.  The other day, my mom gave me a pair of pants.  I tried them on and they fit.  I was devastated when I saw the size of them.  I sat down and cried.  I never dreamed I would be this overweight. 

I don’t feel like going out anymore.  I don’t want anyone I know to see me.  It’s embarrassing.  I just want to have a better quality of life.  I need to and will lose 100 pounds.  I don’t want to waste any more time being fat.  I want to be able to be a carefree 20-something, but I feel so self-conscious all the time that I can’t be the person I want to be.
