Ht. 4'7", Start: 139 lb, Today: 139 lb, Goal: 99 lb - I heven't always been overweight. But,when I was 6, my grandpa died (On Christmas) and the my mom met a guy, we moved to Indiana. And although I didn't show it, I became kind of depressed and just gave up.I didn't care anymore. Well, after a while, I began to really understand about God, I mean I had gone to Church my whole life, but never gotten it. I then realized that I shouldn't give up, because I'll see him again, and spend forever with him. But at this point, I was so used to snacking and not excercising, that it was hard to stop. So that's basically it. I'm just sick of not being able to keep up with my friends, coming in last when we run the mile, and not being able to wear all the "cool" clothes.
