I just wanna let everyone know who's trying or is on a diet that they CAN do it! I went from 215-220 lbs. to 140 lbs. It's taken me almost a year (since the end of last March) but it's so worth it! I went from a size 18 which were soooo tight to a size 8-10. I'm still not where I wanna be since I'm only 5'3. I want to be aroud 110 - 115 and I know I will reach that in a matter of months. Everyone needs to have confidence to lose weight. When you're eating food ask yourself why you are eating this food and if you REALLY want it or are you just bored. Drink as much water as you possible can! You have to be happy with yourself or you won't be able to achieve anything. You'll just sit around feeling sorry for yourself like I did for many many years. I had been fat my whole entire life but now I'm finally getting to where I should and wanna be. People I've known my whole life don't even recongize me anymore. It's the greatest feeling. Hehe. But just because you are overweight does not mean you are a bad person. You are more beautiful than that person who is making fun of you, inside and out. I know everyone can do it. Maybe not right now because the younger you are the harder it is but some day you will not be overweight. Thanks! And good luck! :):):)PS - I lost my weight just by not eating as much, eating healthier foods and exercising religiously.:-D
