Why I'm Losing the Weight
I feel more confident than when I lived at my parent's home but less confident than I want to be. I don't feel very feminine at times and I don't always treat myself well. When I left my parent's I weighed 115 lbs and went running 3 or 4 times a week. Running was my escape. After I moved out, I was free. I wasn't nearly as stressed, I was allowed to eat what I wanted without being called "fat," and I didn't need to go for runs to get away from anything. I've progressively gained weight and I don't like it. I now weigh 132 and eat a lot of unhealthy things in big portions. I want to feel sexy and confident. For me, this program isn't just about losing weight and kicking unhealthy habits for good. It's about learning how to feel sexy and own what I have. Once I do the work to feel good about myself, I want to be able to, rightfully, ooze confidence. I want to turn heads. I want to be able to buy skinny jeans and not feel like I look like a tyrannosaurus rex. I want to be able to say "yes" without hesitation when someone asks me to go to the beach or the pool, because I know I'll have to be seen in a bikini. I don't want anybody to have to say "you let yourself go." I don't want to give up on myself.
