I feel like I’ve been overweight almost my entire life. My family did everything possible to support me to lose weight, but I was stuck in an endless cycle of yo-yo dieting for over 20 years. I thought my weight was the end of me.
I was tired of dealing with that feeling of uncomfortable. It wasn’t fun to walk out of the house and not feel confident in an outfit or have shoes that didn’t fit because my feet were too wide. That was all I could think about whenever I was with friends.
I told myself, “This was who you were going to be. You better start liking her because she is sticking around no matter how hard you try.”
