This is about to get quite ridiculous...
(Please keep in mind the amount of courage it is taking for me to blog, post and share the following info is through the roof and, while I'm quite confident in who I am, I am not happy.)
For a long while, I've been living extremely unhealthy. I am a freshman in college and this is the time everyone dreads the "Freshman 15" or a rapid weight gain. Frankly, high school has done enough damage on me already - I refuse to let myself get hit by college too.
........This is taking a ton of courage and my stomach feels like it's doing flips, but I need this. It's time for me to realize exactly what I have been doing to my body the past five years and I need to stop it now. I say that I'm going to diet "tomorrow" just about every day and that I'll start an exercise plan "tomorrow". Too bad "tomorrow" never seems to come around. I need the motivation and I need to be held accountable for myself and my health. So why not use people who read my blog?
When I started high school, I had been playing volleyball and soccer for years and had been participating in cheerleading. That kept me looking pretty fit and healthy. But after a couple of knee injuries and having to stop sports to focus on school, my health went downhill and my weight went up. My freshman year of high school, I weighed 120lbs. I was 5 foot 3 and was extremely healthy. But in the last 3.5 years, I have torn myself apart. Granted, I've gone through a lot of emotional things which have had an effect, but I have let myself go.
Here I am, 5 foot 8, size 11 jeans, scale tipping at 183lbs....and something has got to change.
So, ladies and gents, say goodbye to the unhealthy, overweight, unhappy Chelsea. She's leaving and will not be back anytime soon. I'm going to start blogging my progress and exactly how I'm doing what I'm doing to lose weight. Any tips and support ya'll can send my way would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, guys <3
