I have always been a little chubby growing up and as the years went by the pounds started added up. Growing up I was always a little chubbier then most of my friends. As I got older I had moments when I really tried to do better, to start taking care of my body and losing the weight once and for all. There have been times where I have lost my goal and I kept it off for a little while and then I seemed to lose focus and it just all goes down hill from there. I have had a number of experiences being made fun of and called fat. No one should every have to feel like they aren't worth the life they deserve. A few months back I had a doctors appointment that really hit me. I left that appointment thinking stay as far away from food as possible! The doctor was a very rude old man who told patients (well at least one) that the problem with America is that we over eat. We should learn the tricks the Nazi's did. He told me that I needed to eat like the Nazi's feed the Jews, I have never had anyone tell me something so horrible before in my life. It made me sick to my stomach! How dare he tell me that. He continue on about how the Nazi's really knew what there was to know about proper nutrition. I left my appointment in tears feeling so awful about my self and extra weight that I was carrying. I am overweight yes, but I am a human being. I have feelings and no one deserves to be treated like I was during that appointment.
So let us not listen to those who discourage us but let us find our strength in those who believe in us.
I have decided it is time once and for all to get rid of these unwanted pounds and to keep them off! I know I have a long way to go and I am hoping that with the support of my husband, family and friends that I will be able to become a better version of myself. I have 65 pounds to lose and this is the new begin to the rest of my life. I am ready to do what it takes to become healthier.
