Oh em geeeee

words cannot explain how.... nervously excited I am.... umm DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?? lol My weight loss journey hasn't been much different from many many others you've already seen/heard... the whole "I was a fat kid and became a fat adult" tale. Yes, FAT, NOT BIG.

I cannot tell you exactly how big I got (last time I weighed myself I was 15 @215) but, I think before I conciously attempted to lose weight I had to be closer to the 300 range....I'm 5'4... that ish wasn't cute. I look back at pics of me at my heaviest and cannot believe I never realized how big I was. It looked like I was ready to POP. Don't get me wrong people!! I'm not saying I was ugly or blah blah blah SO DON'T COME AT ME BRO. What I am saying is that I was huge and unhealthy. Given the history of diabetes on both sides of my family I now see why my mom tried to open my eyes before I got to that point.

Anywho, I began losing weight after I joined my sorority...call it having more confidence or the fact that I was actually meeting new people, who knows! I begin to lose and I couldn't even tell you how it all started or when it all started exactly. All I remember is that by the end of it, I was combining different types of OTC Diet pills which I'm sure could have potentially been dangerous and I was adding in gym time. Towards the end of this "health run" I had gone down to about 180. (was there for like a minute) lol and then....

I started teaching.... I was tired, there were snacks,  and I just started going back up. Then there was Jerry... ahhh looove  lol and the way it makes you GAIN WEIGHT!!!! -___- Through the years (4 to be exact) I have done many many things to try and lose weight and I have been yo-yo-ing between 215 and 185. I have NEVER been under 180 in my adult life!!!

So, this brings me back to my opening point. I am excited and nervous all at the same time BECAUSE... I'm getting closer and closer to that 180 mark. In fact If (and when) I win this challenge, I will be under 180!! I definitely needed that extra motivation to make sure it happens and that's why I made this challenge. I hope to be able to kick 180 to the curb and break up with it FOREVER!

It's April, It's time for spring cleaning and spring slimming! I know I'm going to spend this summer enjoying the best body I've ever had! It might not be My absolute final dream body, yet, but I sure as hell guarantee it wont be this 180 body either! :)

Happy losing, yall!
