I have struggled with my weight since i was 17 (im almost 21) I dont really have a support system, my boyfriend seems to not mind, so thats not motivating, my mom just tells me im fat everytime i see her and my step dad looks at my stomach and watches me when i dont eat anything healthy (he’s overwieght himself) i hate working out, which is the problem. I tried counting calories, ive tried weight watchers, special k challange, just eating healthy. I cut out coffee, soda, fast food, anything fried, sweets and tried eating more salads and fruit and water. it just isnt enough. im a student and dont have money for a gym membership or a personal trainer. i just cant find the motivation to not eat white grains, meat or to work out!! any advice??

How I did it: I am a typically negative person but when the straw broke the camels back was when my first love left me for a girl that would actually sleep with him. In my desperation to get him back, i talked to him and told him i would do it with him, only if he got back with me. he did and after we did it, he told me that he really didnt leave her. before this i had a lot of different types of abuse in my family and most involved me. I felt as if wi… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went on a second Mission trip with another school, but the school was WAY to conservative. It was a religious school and they made me wear a very long, very heavy jean skirt constantly because girls should wear skirts, especially in the heat. The people were excellent, i helped orphan kids, i played with them, even though they had chicken pox and i never had them, but they were so adorable i couldnt keep away from them (never got them b… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went on a mission trip with the school i was going to, so it wasnt a vacation, but it was WAY more awesome than just a vacation. I got to meet the local people, they surrounded us asking for autographs, giving us presents, proposing to us, bringing us food, and singing to us. The people were so warm and loving, the food was deliscious! i got to swim with paranas and i got to touch a dead ones teeth (VERY sharp) I got to sing and play wi… Read how I did it…

I just absolutely love dogs, how can you not be in love with those eyes, or how they when they see you theyre just excited, or their unconditional love!!! I have a weiner dog, pure bred and i love everything about him. the way he smells, how he streches and hes got 9 swirls on his little body!! hes adorable, i want more!!
I have been procrastinating doing this since i was 16 (i’m 20). Not because im not confident in, just because im confident in others. Im somewhat a control freak. I read the book i dont knwo how many times but i went a few years later because this year i have to go on a vaction with my boyfriend and we have to rent a car, i took the knowledge test and failed. I went a second time after drilling the book info in my head and the DMV was closed. Why does it close on mondays??? so i went back and i passed. I go 1 1/2 months later to take the drivers test. I’m driving there and i get a flat. I had to call and reschedule. I rescheduled for the next week and finally did it! i got an 88% i was so nervous but i finally did it! now i love driving!!!
