Ht. 5'5", Wt. 166 - (Was: 184, Now: 166 Goal: 145-150) Hey peeps! I haven't been on here in weeks so I wanted to see how everyone was doing!! As for me? Well I'm a little stuck but I still feel a lot better physically then ever before. I've also learned to look at more positive things about your body and flaunt them! I realized that I have shiny hair, great calves, and muscular arms, so I work it out! And having hobbies and friends to support you really helps. On your journey to being healthier please do it to be HEALTHIER, not just THINNER, because I know that when you eat better foods than your friends you can still be a little heavier. Look for inner beauty as well. Focus on things, have big dreams, set goals, be a better student, learn something new, who knows! Remember: you're not just a number on the scale, a pant size, measurements, the number of zits on you face, a shirt size. You're a person with brains and feelings and talents. For real. This might sound cheesy, but when you start to smile at yourself and be your own best friend, you'll be able to nurture your relationship with food as fuel, not a form of entertainment or comfort. Look only at positive aspects of your life. YOU ROCK; NOW SHOW IT!!!! Love, Isabella (a.k.a. Izzy)
