How Can I
I say it Over and over how I want to lose weight, but I'm honestly not doing the things I used to. I am totally ready to get out of the 200's. This year January 1st I thought about losing weight. February, I committed myself into losing weight. As time flew by I began to slack up. The lowest I've been during my journey was 201 I do believe then it shot back up. It really do hurt in being an overweight person. I hate being over weight and then not feeling confident in myself at all, thats not a good combination. I'm a teen, trying to lose weight so I can avoid all of the health risk factors. Their are several health problems that run in my family and I really want to lose weight.
Being a teen and trying to lose weight is actually hard.
This year '2010' I wrote out plans, schedule, etc.. and tried to complete it or accomplish it, but failed. I've been in challenges did really well, but afterwards i failed to keep going. 2011 is going to be a change. My goal is to lose 30 pounds before I graduate May 27, 2011. I have done so much research to get started and keep going. I guess the plan is to lose weight you have to actually be committed. You can't say you going to lose weight and not do anything. I also realize you cannot set a date on it, because all you're causing yourself to do is gain.
November 26, 2010, I begin another journey for myself "New Ending". So far I'm not going to say that I'm failing but it's getting better. I currently just received Hip Hop Abs and I am enjoying it. It's fun and it really would get you focused and want to complete it and then you might want to do it another one. :) I really excited about it.
The most hardest thing I must admit in trying to lose weight as a teen is finding support. To me I feel like you can't just go to your friends (especially if they are smaller then u) and say hey I want to lose weight. They might look at you and laugh at you behind your back or maybe even your face. The world is slightly cruel now-a-days and you never know who's actually your friend unless you risk it. My family is not as supportive so I usually take the support from 'Sparkteens & Youtube'.
I wish there where more teens in the world who is also trying to lose weight. It is really sad how fat the States is. Childhood obesity is the main issue.. I sometimes wish that I could talk to teens about their weight issue, especially seeing a teen thats bigger than me is sad & trying to lose weight.. it hurts me as well.
My Goal for each month to lose 5 pounds. I know I can do it just got to put my mind to it. Eat healthy (control portion), drink my water, cut back on the junk food, and go to sleep a little early then usual. I really want to look good this summer. I have motivation. Alot of motivation just sometimes, we all lose it and it takes time to find it right?.
You guys I just want to look great and feel amazing and have CONFIDENT in myself for those moments that may not even come back (Senior Prom & Graduation, Senior Spring Break, Senior Week)
Good Luck to you all and hope you accomplish your goals :)
