  • Carpe Diem ~ enjoy life to the fullest

    My 19th birthday wish was to start new.. and that was in June, now it's August and its time to get things started.

    A quick background of myself:

    Just got out of a 2 year relationship with a person who just made me feel horrible about myself and my body. I was 250lbs before I met him, then started worrying about my family line of diabetes and started aktins and was able to lose 70lbs! It really works! But then my problem came by fallin in love, and allowing myself to get stepped all over on. I was constantly being teased of being over weight(and this is AFTER losing 70lbs), not being attracting, and basically everything else that will shoot down your self esteem. I regret not calling it quits earlier, but as they say.. love blind you! It blinded me enough to try a new technique of losing weight instead of atkins.. a quicker one by throwing up a bit here and there. ANd trust me, it does NOT work.. it does work for a short period of time, but then u end up losing muscle weight and gain more fat in the end. Just balooning ya up once again.

    So now i'm starting new..finishing my last 2 years of college, plan on going to the Peace Corp as a teacher and just fulfill my dreams of loving and living life! With all this underway, I want to take care of my body at the same time.. I have no certain date for when i want to accomplish it, because I want this as my lifestyle.. so here I will post pictures to keep me up and remind me what i don't want to go thru again.. And for anyone who read this far down, i give ya props! Sorry was soo long But best of luck for the rest of ya'll... and don't ever let anyone try to put you down.. if they do, tell me and i'll kick some butt with my taebo moves!

      All your pictures are beautiful! I am glad you are getting your life reorginized and have decided to return to this healthy way of life. Dont ever let anyone's opinion of you affect you. You deserve way more than that and are worth more than that. Other people's insecurities are something they have to learn to deal with, without making others feel like S**T. Good luck on your latest journey.
      Here you go.....

            your a cutie and way way to young to have to worry about some insecure boy giving you static and making you feel bad about yourself..i hate guys like that so worried about loosing what they have that they will make them feel worthless so they wont leave,,never made sence to me at all.

            good to hear your standing on your feet.
            never let anyone tell you your selfworth and always walk with your head high.you have a beautiful smile and it would be a shame for not to use it everyday.

                    I am so happy for you that you are relieving yourself of all that negative junk and getting back into a healthy, and happy, way of living! You are a beautiful girl, bigger or small, and you seem to have a very kind disposition as well.
                    We kind of have the same stats, height, weight and goal, but are just at different points in the game. Please let me know if there is ever anything I can do for you!

                        You are a beautiful in all your pictures...honest!!!!

                        BUT!! What's with the "tragic now" statement on your siggy with the current picture????

                        For one thing we have to learn...yes, we are our own worst critic, but I have to agree, that is NOT your tragic picture!!!

                        Throw your mouse at me, yell at me all you want...but as you're working on the inside of you with your goals in life, take my advise...ditch the "tragic" statement and put "Awesome Me" instead You've done a wonderful job taking care of you losing the weight this far you deserve to stand on the mountain tops and say, "Kiss my Grits"!

                        Best wishes on your journey!

                        Keep up the awesome work!
