change
Change was a word often used this year, but I really do feel that I have transformed into a new person. I don't really want to delve into the topic too much but I want to organize my thoughts.
physical change
- In the past year and a half, I've lost over 130 pounds.
- I went from a size 22 to a size 12.
- I can go up the stairs without feeling like I'm having a heart attack
- I can basically run a mile (okay on the treadmill at least)
- My body relied on a pill called metaformin to regulate my insulin levels because I was pre-diabetic...now thats completely gone.
Mental Change
- I've gained more confidence in myself but still not strong enough.
- I don't take crap from nobody.
- I'm becoming kind of blunt but I blame that on stuff that is going on at the house.
- I feel right now that I can accomplish anything.
Social Change
- I've been more comfortable with boys thanks to Julie. I sit with two obnoxious hilarious boys at lunch but I have a special spot for them because without them I probably wouldn't have gotten used to "stupid" boys. lol Not only that, but I have been able to express feelings that I've been having towards one fellow. No I don't like him, but I feel that he is the only boy that can really hold a serious yet enjoyable conversation with me.
- I went to school the other day with metallic blue eyeliner. lol
Hobbies/lifestyle change
- I'm slowly becoming a vegetarian. The only thing holding me back is chicken and turkey. Can't give them up.
- I went from drinking soda everyday to finally drinking water.
- I love to randomly walk around as it is very hard for me to sit down.
- I want to move to Seattle!
- I'm a green girl. I'm in love with nature and trees.
- I've started to shop at Charlotte Russe...a store that I used to walk around with Lissette and Jessica thinking "I'd never wear or fit in these kind of clothes."
- I'm going to start flag football conditioning next week.
Where I haven't changed
- I love to laugh and ask weird questions. "How do chickens/hens stand up if they can't bend their knees?"
- I'll always be that fat girl at heart. I'll never look down at her. I still look at my pictures from previous years with pride because that's who I was.
- I'll never wear provocative clothing no matter how flat of a stomach I'll get. (If that ever happens...lol)
- I'm still a sensitive cry-baby. Its not hard for me to show I'm upset.
- I will always be a huge Disney fan. Everybody still knows me for it.
Well now that I've done that, I'm ready for the end of the year. Time for college already! lol
