I've been struggling with my weight for about half my life.   I went from being underweight to overweight in a short period of time when I moved from my mother's to my fathers when I was 11.  And ever since I've been having problems with eating.  I was pretty much starved as a child and when I moved in with my father I just ate everything in sight because that was my natural instinct.  My dad has a really bad sweet tooth also and I guess it rubbed off on me, though now I've learned to curve it.  I'm talking about a guy who can polish off an entire cake in one night and not really gain much weight from it.  Don't you just hate that? :p

I've been doing pretty well in my diet so far.  I've only been on 2 other diets in my life and they have backfired on me, mostly because they were too restrictive.  I like being able to splurge every now and then and being able to eat all of the food groups.  I've never been on a diet (and lifestyle change) this long, nor have I lost this much weight in my life.

I guess the reality of my weight hit me when I saw pictures of myself.  It's funny how I looked completely different in the mirror.  I guess I was in denial about it and I had to slap myself into reality.  I was 175 pounds and obese, and now I am down to my goal of 115 pounds :) I lost 60 pounds! 

It's great to be more healthy and to feel better about myself and my appearance.  I did a test a few months ago before my diet and it said that I was 5 years older than my actual age, but it says I'm younger :)

Future plans:

I'm hoping to keep this weight for the rest of my life by maintaining my calorie intake and keeping up my healthy lifestyle and diet. 

If I get pregnant in the future I'm not going to gain more than 30 pounds (I gained 40 lbs last time!).

After collage and after I get a good job, I want a breast augmentation, I hate being a size A cup now :(  I also want to get a tummy tuck and try to get rid of these stretch marks.
