I was 201 pound, 5’6 when I noticed I needed to change.
Change is something that I have been wanting to accomplish since my high school’s years. I just did not know where to begin. My parents would not invest in a gym membership because at the time I was underage and they did not have the time to come with me. They did not think I needed to join a gym. Thought I would give up because I was a little gym shy. I thought by joining the soccer team I would lose the weight; however, my school’s soccer team was not very supportive and I was not the best player on the team. In fact, I hated being on the team. I did not like to play sports, and I was not about to stay on there. So now I did not know what to do.

After sitting in classes all throughout the morning, having to write notes, try to pay attention while your stomach growls, by the time lunch comes, you’re going to be craving all the wrong things. And I was. Having to walk passed that vending machine and the lunch line every day to my seat was difficult. Smelling the aromas from all the wrong foods as my friends unwrapped it honestly, I could not eat my boring healthy food every day. So, I gave in a few times when I first started my weight loss journey. I felt bad, but I got back on track. I took PE class more seriously and lost 10 pounds by doing so. Around my senior year, I was 191 and when graduation came I was 185. I was happy with my results; however, I was not at my goal
