I've always been a bit on the heavier side since I was a kid. I started getting chunky in elementary school. I didn't think anything of it. Well kind of. Sometimes kids say mean things. We all know they do.
In high school I felt great in my own skin! I was confident, almost too confident! Is there such a thing? I liked who I was becoming and what I was doing. I was in high school and cosmetology school at the same time and loved every minute of it! My senior year is also the year that the hubs came into my life. We started dating in the spring and were inseparable. I find it true to say that you get into a comfort zone and you gain weight. It's not true to everyone but it is with me.
My weight bounced between 180 and 200 for my entire high school career.
After graduation we moved in together and started our life. We worked and was on the go all the time. My weight started to climb because I would just eat whatever whenever. Big mistake.
Six years later and 100 pounds of weight gain. It's sickening when put into perspective that way. No one wants to be told they're fat. But sometimes tough love is needed. No one has really ever came out and just said I was fat. I think I'd cry like the kid that just skinned their knee on the pavement in the middle of July.
It's time to change. Change for ME. Better for everyone else too! It has to be a lifestyle change not a temporary change. Temporary doesn't stick around. Obviously.
