Ht. 5'4", Start: 177 lb, Today: 180 lb, Goal: 130 lb - Haven't been here in a looong time. I've always wondered why I never could get motivated to lose weight. I've done some real soul searching for the last few months and I figured out why. I haven't gotten to the point where I completely hate being fat. I'm actually quite comfortable with my body. I know I need to lose weight so I can develop healthy habits and be healthier, but I've realized I don't need to lose the weight to boost my self esteem or to give me confidence...I need to lose weight to be healthy. It's taken me all this time to realize it, but I'm glad I finally know now. I recommend you guys all do some soul searching...about school, life, friends, family, weight, self esteem, self confidence...just explore every aspect of your life, - and i promse everything will start to make more sense...I'm so glad I've taken the time to really think things through...I still feel a little bit lost, not quite sure who I am, but now that I've done a bit of soul searching, I know just a little bit about what I wanna do in this life....And I'm happier now :D
