hi there!
So this is my first attempt at starting a blog and who knows if anyone's willing to listen. But sharing my story might motivate and if not it helps me keep chugging along.
So so here's the beginning. I've been fat my entire life. Well starting at the age of 11 I'd say. I ate the worst food possible and stayed away from any kind of physical activity. In 8th grade I tried out for both volleyball and softball, considering that a girl who had a broken ankle made the team and I didn't I think it's safe to say I wasn't the most talented middle schooler. From there I grew, through high school for fear of being made fun of I wore baggy sweatshirt and dressed like a tomboy trying to stay as low key as possible. After high school I got a full time working as a secretary for town hall and now, 8 years after that here I am. In 2009 I got the Lapband and went from 257lbs to 145lbs. Quickly i learned how to eat around my Lapband restrictions and gained 40lbs back. I took the liquid out of my Lapband 2 years ago and now here I am. 182.5lbs as of last Tuesday. I'm a week in, running everyday and eating 1300 calories a day. I hope I get some of you to hear and watch my journey as I stay motivated and determined to lose this cloud that has followed me my entire life. I'm ready to be the people I was meant to be!
