musicartlife7's Journal, 30 Mar 10

I'm 19 years old and more than 100 pounds overweight. I've had a boyfriend, never even been kissed, and I know it's because of my weight. My family isn't very supportive, so it's time to get it done myself. I have faith that I can do it even if no one close to me does. I look in the mirror and am not too fond of what I see. My weight has given me severe asthma, and I'm hoping in a year I will be a happier, healthier me. It's going to be a lot of work, but I'm ready for it.

I've been overweight since I was five years old. I got my tonsils and adnoids out, and the steroids that I was put on made me blow up roughly like a balloon. The eating habits of my family didn't really help either. Now I've taken a step back from it all and decided that I don't need to have anyone's approval to make me happy and to get healthy. I just need me, and that's all that matters at this point. I'm going to work my butt off and make it work! :D

Don't do it for a boyfriend or proving people wrong! Do it for you and you will truly succeed!

You can do it! Do it for your health :) I met my boyfriend when I was heavier than you (287) and he's still my boyfriend now that I've lost 85 pounds. There ARE good guys out there who will love you for you. But you have to love yourself first! You aren't alone. You can find a lot of support here. You have youth on your side. This will be easier for you now than if you wait until you are in your 30s like me :)
