So this is yet another weight loss blog, and while I hope you get something out of it, I'm really doing this to make sure I stay on track...
So what's my story? I've been overweight since I came out of the frickin' womb. It's just a sad fact. I was finally inducted into the morbidly obese category of the BMI chart at the ripe old age of eight. Throughout elementary and middle school I was uneducated and unaware of how unhealthy I was, but upon entering high school, I was most definitely informed. This led me to lose a significant amount of weight (about 80 lbs), but, of course, I hit a plateau. I'd been hovering around 160 for years before I finally took the initiative and lost another 15. Now, at 145, I'm at that place where real decisions have to be made.
I'm essentially healthy now, but I want more. I finally want to LOOK like all the work I've been putting into this weight loss journey. So, I've created this blog to help me flesh out and understand what it means to lose weight for vanity reasons. Many people will probably say that it's reprehensible for me to want to lose weight simply because I'd look more attractive, but I think the need to look good is one that runs deep in many, many people.
So here we go. I'm ready to delve into the world of weight loss. As I blog, I will continue to reveal more information about my weight struggles in the past, and I'll attempt to tackle and flesh out the ways in which weight loss is influenced by society. I hope you'll have fun as I update you on my progress.
Til then,
Si
