challenge day 16
Tumblr 30 day weight loss challenge, day 16: When did you first decide to lose weight?
I think I first made the conscious decision to lose weight in high school, when I was really overweight. I played a crapton of DDR and lost about 20 pounds, then gained it back before I started college. My lowest weight in college has been about 142 pounds, which was last year.
This time around, I decided things needed to change when I weighed myself at a doctor's appointment and found that I weighed 157 pounds, my highest since I started college almost four years ago. Not okay! It's very overweight for my height, and I finally had a number to put to my unhappy feelings about my body. And I did not like that number!
As of Friday I weighed 146 pounds--a loss of 11 pounds since I started losing in August. I still have a long way to go, but I'm doing my best!
