Well I have been overweight all of my life. I have tried every single diet under the sun. I even tried to not eat at all. 
I would do okay on the diet...it would take forever to lose ten pounds. I would get so frustrated and then I would gain twenty pounds back. For every pound I have ever lost, I have gained it back ten fold.
Now I am twenty-five and I am the biggest I have ever been in my life. I can't stand to be in my own skin any longer, and I am refusing to live my life like this. I am too young to not enjoy my life.
I would say that my real turning point was this summer. We went white water rafting..I was proud of myself for even spending the day in a bathing suit (that was covered with shorts and a t-shirt at all times) but still, I was near the water in public. So, we are white water rafting and having an amazing time. Once we make it through the rapids our guide lets everyone get out of the boat to swim if they would like.....AND then he would pull us back in when we were done. The thought of this tour guide struggling to haul in my large behind was horrifying for me. I love swimming, and it was hot and we were having a great day....and I couldn't get in the water. What has happened to my life?
