Ht. 5'5", Start: 142 lb, Today: 135 lb, Goal: 115 lb - Although I may not be overweight any longer, just by losing 2 pounds, I live in a community full of skinny rich people. Most of my friends moms have gotten nose and boob jobs and go to the salon everyday. Because their moms seem to be so perfect, they have to be too. Evryone is so pretty and skinny,that you just feel this pressure to be too. Since I have lived here though, I have realized that until you make that big step in your life where you want to make a change, you need to accept the way you are and realize that you are going to have to work hard, and it wont be easy. The weight wont come off over night! That was the biggy that I learned over my life of being, "the fat, pretty, girl." I may not have been involved in this method of losing weight for long, but I have lost a lot of weight over the past 3 years. I know what I'm talking about!!! :)
