My Weight Loss Accomplishment

When I was a young child (around 4 years old) I ate myself away. I was doped up on medication that caused me to gain fat. Ever since then, I've been extremely overweight. Kids at school would call me names such as 'fatass' or 'fatty.' It didn't feel too good. Not only that, I was self-concious about my weight and have gone as far to starving myself. But the medication stopped me...

In the sixth grade, I was taken off of the medication but all of a sudden my mother put me back on without a doctor's permission. I slowly went from about 165 to 230 lbs. This took about four months. My doctor then found a high insulin problem which was another cause of my extreme weight gain. I was taken off of the medication and was placed on Metformin, a medication for type 2 diabetes, even though I'm not a diabetic. I started vigorously exercising everyday for about 30 minutes to 2 hours. I got down to 162 pounds until I picked up weight lifting and since then I have gained 12 pounds of muscle. I still have excess skin from where I used to be heavy.

Unfortunatly, I haven't gotten through the mental part of weight loss...I still see myself as fat. I'm slowly getting myself together and stopped downing myself recently. Everyone is proud of me but I keep on riding my own ass by saying things like, "GUAH!!!! I WILL BE 167 POUNDS BY THE END OF THIS YEAR!!!!!" or I'll say something such as, "MY FATASS USED TO BE 162 LBS. TWO MONTHS AGO BUT YET I'M TOO LAZY TO GET MY ASS ON THE FLOOR TO DO A DAMN SIT-UP!!!!!!" However, everyone seems to see me as thinner but I think of fatter.

My future goal for my weight loss is to be 153 lbs within the next six months. I am this week starting with a personal trainer one-on-one to achieve these goals. I look into becoming more tone while bulking up my arms. I already have huge triceps as it is but my main concern is toning up my abs and thighs to become a more healthier weight.

Currently, I am 5'7" and 174 lbs with a 33" waist. I used to be 5'5" and 231 lbs. I have lost 69 lbs and gained 12 pounds in the last one to three months. My waist in the past was a 45" and I'm comfortably with my 33" waist as I have lost 12 inches. My BMI was 38.43 last year and now 27.24 so I have lost 11.19 on my BMI. I am an active bodybuilder and vigorously train myself daily for a minimum of 2 hrs. per day.

I bet you I will like that show. Have you ever read the Thoroughbred series of novels???? It's about these girls who race horses and I like those so much.

I saw the first episodes of Series One and now I can't wait to see Series Two of Wildfire. There are so many episodes you will be glued to the TV all summer. Wildfire is all horses and teen drama.

Cool...I've never watched that before. Maybe I'll give it a try...I adore horses.

Emily, if you like horses you will the TV series 'Wildfire'. It's the best. The series is available on Amazon.com or you may be able to rent it from Netflix.

Well, Julie...All I do all day is work out, pretty much. Sometimes, I'll ride horses or read an inspiring story. Unfortunatly, I'm one of those people who obsess over their weight just so they can be healthy, or so that's my reason. Thanks for the advice...

Weight is just part of life. Do you have any other interests to take your mind off things? Do you swim, play tennis, or hang out with kids that play non-competitive sports? Just do something else besides worrying about yourself, something that you have always wanted to do.

I understand completely how you feel......I feel short and fat myself but everyone else perceives me as tall and skinny. I guess my perceptions aren't good enough about myself so I've recently started laughing at my inaccurate perceptions about my body. I met my trainer today so I can start on working at building my manly arms up more.
