How I did it: i left my job to backpack thru Europe, i promised myself at the beginning of 2008 that i would have a completely different life by that time next year.so far this year i paid off my car, lost 42 lbs, backpacked thru europe and shabam.... quit my hellish job 2 focus on school!! i felt so trapped in that job, it brought me down and depressed me to where i did not want to do anything and gained weight. to leave it took so much courage for me… Read how I did it…
Yay! Now that I have lost weight, i finally feel like this goal is ready to be marked off!! We have a dance team for a semi pro team here in Wilmington, and the try outs are in march and I’m so there!
So I am doing this!! I have been doing this about 5 months and am now at 70 lbs lost! This is the hardest thing i have done and yet the most rewarding!!! I have had to buy a whole new closet full of new clothes! I have gone down 4 pants sizes and 4 top sizes!! I am almost to that size 10 also! I am soo happy. I have 30 lbs left of my 100lb goal and so that should get me to even smaller then what i wanted! I am now even training for a 5k in Nov, who knew i would be doing something like that. I can outlast all my friends now in the gym, its so nuts how my physical abilities to do exercise have changed. I will keep everyone posted b/c i am getting so close to this one being marked off!
