I'm 19 (almost 20) years old and have been overweight all of my life, despite being on multiple sports teams that worked my butt off, being a competitive irish dancer, and being a picky eater. After hitting college 2 and a half years ago, I sort of gave up on being "healthy" because I felt like if I couldn't do it running miles a day during conditioning for my teams, there was no way that I could do it alone and with minimal exercise.
Well. I'm heavier now then before (224 lbs) and I'm tired of it. I want to repair my body image (which was never great) and my body so that I can go do the things that I've wanted to for so long. Like going swimming or going back to irish dancing.
So, this is me starting the process.
I have to lose almost 70 lbs, I know it could be worse, but it's a big number from where I'm sitting. All through sports I always failed at any attempt to lose weight. I just hope that I can keep up the motivation to get down to 155 lbs.
