Currently, I weigh about 145 pounds. Now, being just 4'11, it is not considered a healthy weight. I have been downright depressed about it, hating looking at myself in the mirror and dreading getting up and getting dressed in the morning when I used to be 120 pounds as I used to take dance classes every day of the week. Most of my weight is gained on my hips, my stomach and my arms. I constantly tell myself I need to eat healthy, I need to exercise more but it never seems to motivate me. I am totally, 100% against taking a pill to "lose weight", I think it is too unhealthy for you body by just being full of chemicals. I have decided to quit complaining about how heavy I have gotten. One thing I realized is that you need to love and appreciate your body before you can do anything. You have got to WANT to nourish it with the things it needs. I am no longer doing this for appearance purposes only, I am doing this for a healthier me. Exercising for just one hour a day can improve your energy drastically instead of that 500 calorie coffee I had been sucking down. Eating what I know is good for me has also improved my energy, and motivation. Overall, this has made me happier. I have lost a total of 10 pounds by just loving my body and doing what is best for it. I am determined to make myself healthier.
