So I wanted to write about something a bit serious, and something that still ties into fashion. Weight loss. As I am sure you can tell by my photos, I am overweight. I weight about 185 pounds at the moment. But there has been a time in my life when I was over 200 pounds. I have always been a chubby kid, but still healthy somehow. I've had blood tests and urine tests and all that, which always came out average, or even above average. The only reason I ever had reason to worry about weight was the way that society viewed me. I'm always told that I'm "pretty, but..." and what usually followed the "but.." was the fact that I am heavy set.
Normally I would just blow it off and say that I was happy in my own skin, WHICH I TOTALLY WAS! But recently as I have become more interested in the fashion world, and in clothing...I have realized that the world is not made for a girl of my size. And I have also realized that just because the tests SAY I'm healthy...I'm really just not. I never ate ALOT of food, but when I did eat...it wasnt good for me.
So needless to say, I think you all know where I am going with this...I am starting to diet and exercise. Something I was never fond of. My family members and friends have always been on diets and so forth, and I would normally just say "Are you crazy?! You're beautiful! Why starve yourself?!" But now, I feel like it's time for me to get fit and get in shape. Now as casual as I may seem to be taking, I am also getting alot of mouth from my family about losing weight, and that the way I am doing it is wrong. My grandmother believes that she is the diet guru and knows it all. So...I am trying my hardest to get the weight off and prove to her, that I know what I'm doing.
Not only am I dieting (eating small portioned, heathily prepared meals), exercising mulitiple times a week (I even joined the gym my boyfriend goes to for motivation), but I am also going to start taking some diet supplements. Please, hold back the hisses and moans...and let me explain.
I know that "diet pills" and supplements are not always the best thing to do. I know that they can be dangerous and cause more harm than good. But being that I have always been big, I realize that it is a problem with my heredity. So I am taking a supplement that is going to speed up my metabolism and give me much needed energy. And I am also aware that diet pills are not magic pills...I still need to diet and exercise.
Anyhow, I just wanted to put this here for other people to read if they are also in my kind of situation. It's never a bad thing to be fit. Not super skinny, with an eating disorder...but FIT and HEALTHY. But if you're a big girl, and you are honestly happy and healthy in medical ways, than believe me...that is completely okay too. :)
If you have any questions, or are curious about diet pills/supplements just leave me a comment and i'll reply later.
until next time,
xoxo
