i was always a small child, i never had that "fat" stage growing up, until i hit high school and was able to drive (which caused me to stop walking everywhere & start driving everywhere) and then of course i was able to eat out with friends all the time, mcdonalds, del taco, etc. i was an athlete in high school though: waterpolo, swim, volleyball, basketball.. which probably saved me. otherwise who knows how much chubbier i would have gotten. well actually i do know, because once i graduated high school i put on a good 10 pounds right off the bat. my 2nd year of college i started playing college waterpolo and swim once again, so still not watching what i was eating, but at least getting loads of exercise, i managed to take off the 10 pounds i had gained. but once again when my 2 years of college sports ended i gained back the 10 pounds. i weighed about 179 pounds by summer 2006. by january 2007 i decided i needed to do something about the weight, and joined weight watchers, i really did not exercise, but i stayed on a strict 1200 calorie diet a day, and lost about 1.5 pounds a week till i got down to 160 which was my initial goal. i stayed between 158-160 for over a year till marcel and i broke up, when that happened i automatically lost another 8 pounds and got down to 150 where i stayed for another year or so, this past february i got down to about 146, after becoming vegan and sticking to a low-calorie, high fiber diet. once summer came around though, i slowly gained half a pound a week from all the partying & eating out. then peru came and i was very careless about everything i ate, i told myself, im on vacation and i am going to enjoy this, i allowed myself to eat more desserts than ever before, i managed to gain about 14 pounds in 2 months. since i have been home it has been a battle to take the weight off. i have been dieting and starving, and still no weight loss, well maybe about 3 pounds, but i am starting to get discouraged, and i really hope this weight starts to come off, cause my jeans arent fitting and i feel very self-conscious about it. hopefully i can get back down to my original weight before summer. i guess it did take time to put on the weight and now its going to take time to take off the weight, but i would like to at least see some sort of change.
