My Name is Allyce and I am 20 years old. Since the age of 14 I have struggled countless times with my weight and looks. When I was a child I was the normal weight but I still had this voice in my head telling me I was fat. When I was 14 I was about 130 pounds, which made me look bigger than I was because I am short. My height is 5’5 so I was about 5’0 during that time. I always had low self-esteem and was not very social. I suffered from anxiety and every day I would have a panic attack. My fear has always been what others thought of me based on my looks and not me as a person.
I can’t say I have tried countless ways to get thin and healthy, because I don’t believe staying on a diet plan for three days counts as anything significant. The reason I have signed up for Spark people, is because I am tired of this countless tiredness and making excuses to not do anything about it. I am a college student and work full time, which causes me to be busy all the time. But I feel that I need more motivation from people who know how I feel and can relate. It is my goal to lose the weight in a healthy manner as well as start to enjoy my life without caring what others think of me based on my looks.
I feel confident as of now that I can change myself for the better and help others along the way.
