Ht. 5'2", Wt. 149 - this is plain drama. haha pardon me. :) i have been overweight since i was a child and i hated it. i do not hate myself, i just hated the fact that i am overweight. my friends are all wonderful and they accept me for who i am. (i have LOTS of friends) but the other people that i do not know are the ones who hurt my feelings. they give me "the stare" and even murmur mean things (as if i don't hear 'em) a guy friend actually suggested that i lose weight so i can have a bf (yup til now i dont have!) and join beauty contests. but i feel that i do not need to lose weight because i want a bf or someone wants me to join a contest, i need to lose weight for myself. because i want to feel good about myself. i really want to lose like 30 or so pounds so for myself. i really feel sad when i go to a clothing store and look at all those dresses but can't buy them because they don't fit.i am happy with my family, but we are all overweight. hopefully if i get slimmer, i will inspire them to do just the same. i am worried about my family's health because my mom is diabetic. but after reading the success stories in here, i finally realized that hey, losing 30 pounds or even a whol lot more is not as hard as i think it would be and it is definitely possible.. i do hope i will accomplish my goal. thank you for all the tips peepz! and wish me luck! sorry for the long post! :P and i will keep you posted about my endeavors. i'm a newbie here haha i hope i am welcome!
