Hello.
My name is Rosie. I’m an 18 year old girl, and I weigh 199lbs. Today is the first day in a long time that I’ve had the courage to talk about my weight, and to do something to make a difference.
For me, my weight has always been a problem, ever since I was young. I didn’t have a limit on how much crap I could eat, so I just ate. Crisps, chips, sweets, chocolate, trifle: whatever I wanted, I ate. And now I am paying the price.
I’m 18 and seriously overweight.
5foot10, 199lbs.
Not for long.
This is me taking a stand, making a change, making a difference. Forever.
I can not believe it has taken me this long to make a decision that will change my life, that could save my life. I do not want to be overweight, god forbid I ever get to that stage where I watch the biggest loser and think “That’s me. That person there? That’s me. I am THAT fat, and it’s all my fault.” because it is. I allowed myself to get this fat. I allowed myself to eat that food that poisoned my body and made me who I am.
Today is Tuesday 15th October, and these are my stats.
Height: 5 foot 10
Current Weight: 199lbs
Goal Weight: 154lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 136lbs
By NEXT TUESDAY 22nd, I want to have lost 9lbs which I KNOW will be a challenge, but I can’t aim low. Aim low, chances are you’ll think “it’s okay, I can eat this piece of cake because I only need to lose 2lbs this week.”
NO. YOU CAN’T.
You HAVE TO AIM HIGH.
If you fail, work harder. If you succeed, work harder. Work as hard as you can, then push yourself a little bit further.
Because I am overweight.
This is my fault.
And it will be my success.
