for a long time i just felt like it wasn’t possible and i would never be able to be any different than the way i was. a friend of mine and i decided to go on south beach, and with her positive reinforcement (read: powers of shaming me), i was able to lose 25 pounds. i haven’t been sticking to it lately, which is why my goal now is to lose MORE weight, but it has been quite a while and i haven’t gained any of the weight back. also, i feel a lot better about myself than i probably ever have in my life. not just because i lost the weight, but because i got a real sense of accomplishment because i did something that was really difficult for me. also, for once in my life, i think i am considered in the “normal” weight range for my height, and i don’t lie about it on my driver’s license. oh the unexpected benefits.
