| For the majority of my life I have been overweight. There were so many years when I told myself, "I'm going to lose weight. I'm definitely going to do it this time." Only to gain more. My highest weight was 282 lbs. At the time it didn't seem like a big deal. Looking back, though, I say, Jesus Christ! That's almost 300 freaking pounds! That was back in February of 2012. I have lost 75 pounds since then. When I arrived at the Potomac Job Corps Center about four months ago, I weighed 236 lbs. Since then I have lost 29 pounds. I am SO happy to finally be getting where I want to be. I am starting to feel good about myself and this is only the beginning. I used to read the before and after weight loss stories in magazines and cry because of how much I wanted that. Now I'm going to BE one of those stories. I've got a long way to go, but now that I've seen that I can make this happen, I know if won't be too bad and I CAN do it. I left my room this morning to sign in and as I was walking down the hallway, I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the window, head on, and thought, Oh, DAMN! I actually have a figure now! | |

| katiecat | Re: Re: , 10-15-13 9:37pm I've been ok. Very busy between work and more work lol. Been pretty stressed lately so I feel like I'm going crazy but whatever. How are you?? |
kinkyrose1212 | Re: Re: Re: , 10-16-13 8:20am Busy and stressed myself. On top of doing class work in TCU, they have me working in the office there (it's a volunteer/training thing, I don't get paid) and I enjoy it, even though it gets crazy sometimes. Also I was made a dorm officer, in charge of making sure people do their nightly chores. I didn't apply for that position, they just told me I had it. It's a little annoying, but at least I'll get to move into one of the two person rooms instead of living in the four person one. Other than that I've started job searching and I'm trying to stay on top of my diet and get enough sleep. I feel like I'm going crazy sometimes, too. But we'll make it through, Katie, we always do! |
