That is the day I decided it was time to change my life for the better, for the healthier. I had always had some extra pounds on me, but I never truly realized how much extra I had. I stepped on the scale for the first time in months, and weighed in at 232.1 lbs. That number shocked me.

I had always been able to get away with the extra weight, because I am around 5′10. I called myself “big-boned” but I knew I was lying. I knew it was time for a change, and this time, I was serious about it. I knew that I was starting college in around 7 months, and I didn’t want to start it with an unhealthy amount of weight on. Diabetes, Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, and a lot of other things are very prevalent in my family, so I didn’t want to hinder my potential in life, because of poor lifestyle decisions that I had made. That day, I decided that I wanted to be at around 175 lbs. by my high-school graduation. Not only to look good in my dress, but more than that, I wanted to be healthy. Truly healthy.

We had Circus Day at school, and I only have one pair of shorts that matched with the shirt we had to wear. I pulled it out for the first time in three months and it was HUGE on me. When I mean huge, I mean I had to button my belt to the fifth loop!

Weight Lost (Fat): 25 lbs.

Weight Gained (Muscle): 6.5 lbs.

Pant Sizes Dropped: 3

Top Sizes Dropped: 1-2

Still have around 25-30 lbs. to lose in the next few months, and I am going to continue working hard at it!

“Our prejudices arise from the fear of things we do not understand. If my generation has a single goal, it must be to promote education – education that advances us not only technologically, but also intuitively and emotionally. In today’s fast-paced world, advancing has to mean more than scientific discovery; it is our responsibility to force ourselves beyond our comfort zones and become knowledgeable about the people around us.”

-Jessica Arden Ettinger (Starbucks customer and student at the University of Virginia)
