I get to go to visit my boyfriend on the 20th! I'm soooo excited. I really hope that I can drop a few pounds by then. I know that he likes me the way that I am right now, but I want to show him that I can look "even better".
The main reason that I would like to lose the weight is for my health and self-esteem. I'm only 21, and I have a lot of my life before me. I want to make the most of it. I've been overweight most of my life, but I hit obesity in high school, and it has just gotten worse and worse. I wasn't able to wear pretty clothes, and I didn't quite fit in while I was a teenager. Granted, that saved me from materialism and tons of money wasted on clothes, but someday I want to feel good about the way I look. There are so many things that I wish I could do, but my weight restricts me. I hate going to amusement parks and being paranoid that I won't fit on the rides. I want to go dancing! I want to feel confident enough to wear a dress that is above my ankles while doing said dancing!
I've been with this guy for over two years, and I'm positive he is the one I want to marry. I want to be as healthy as I can for the both of us. I have a silly dream of him carrying me over the threshold after we get married. And... I also want to feel confident with my body... on our wedding night.
I keep thinking of all the wonderful opportunities that will open when I lose weight and become more fit. I already have more energy and can sleep much better since I have started. Who knows what other wonderful things it can bring?
