Well hello there!
Hello everyone! (:
My name is Rose (my middle name). I'm 16 and a senior in high school, though I'm near 17 now! I used to be a varsity soccer player but got more involved in equestrianism so that's my main sport now. People think I'm a little odd because I absolutely hate running outside... I can't explain it, but I just do. I much prefer a gym environment, but I'm looking for the right gym in my area and I'm not sure which to pick. I think my diet is a big problem with my inability to shave off the last few pounds... I can't resist sweet things and I adore baking, so the temptation is always there! Right now I'm very nearly 5'7" give or take a quarter-inch, and 138 or so pounds. I would be very upset to get into the 140s... After a vacation to Italy, which I started at 127, I ended up 135 (thanks very much, delicious gelato!) and been stuck there ever since.
I have to say, my biggest problem with my body is less my actual weight and more the size of my hips. I already have naturally wide hips and an hourglass figure, but the fat built up there and now I feel as though I am spilling over my jeans and dresses, etc. I've even taken to wearing high-waisted spandex to try and pin the stuff down but I've finally come to the realization that I can't just make it appear gone. I would be ecstatic to lose some off my hips and lower butt/upper thigh. Of course, as an equestrian I have a giant booty that's pretty much all muscle but whatever I can lose, I'd like to.
And I definitely need help! My parents don't try to regulate my diet at all and never make me exercise, so I'm entirely responsible... not so great for me, since I'm kind of a space case. I sometimes forget to eat and sometimes forget I've eaten... Anyway, I'm really stoked to finally deal with the problem instead of trying to skirt around it. I'd like to be back in the 125 zone in time for prom so I can fit into the size 4 dresses at Starlet (since the truly gorgeous ones don't come in 6s... wahh). It sounds juvenile but it's a deadline with motivation! Senior prom!
Anyway, I'll stop blabbering now. (: Good to meet you all and I'll see you around!
