Hey SparkPeople!
My name is Megan, I am 19 and I am going to spend the rest of my life getting and staying fit. It has always been a dream of mine to be athletic. To have a toned body and be in amazing shape. But I have always been overweight. Trying to play outside with my cousins and getting tired after five minutes and going inside, leaving them disappointed. I never talked to many people at school because I figured, who wants to talk to the big girl. So I stayed to myself, graduated early, and spent 5 months in my room reading about other people's lives. Then I went back to walk and get my diploma and saw everyone again. It was horrible! I was bigger, even more shy and completely mortified. But I still didn't change anything. I spent the following summer and fall overweight. And then in early winter 2009 I woke up one morning and something changed in me. I thought: If I want to be athletic why can't I? It's not impossible. My dream is realistic so why don't I go for it? I started Jillian Michaels 30-Day shred and it completely changed my life. I made healthier food choices. It was hard and emotional and sometimes I thought I would die working out and then other times I wanted to eat everything in sight. I did hit a snag where I quit working out and caring but this new year's I decided once and for all I was going to fulfill my dream. So I'm here today 41 pounds lighter and healthier than I have ever been. I still have 31 pounds to go to reach my goal but I know I can do it. I know I can get what I want. I just have to want it bad enough. And let's just say I want it really really really REALLY bad. And that's an understatement. I'm going to do all I can. And then I'm going to do some more.

My DONE list:

I am DONE saying I will be healthy and then going back to my old ways.

I am DONE allowing my weight to take away my confidence.

I am DONE not having a bikini body.

I am DONE making excuses and being lazy.

I am DONE letting my weight hold me back from my dreams.

I am DONE overeating and eating when I'm bored, sad, mad, or happy.

I am DONE not being able to shop at "cute" stores.

I am DONE comparing myself to others.

I am DONE wearing a hoodie to hide my body.

I am DONE celebrating with food.

I am DONE not getting enough sleep.

I am DONE hiding in the shadows instead of meeting new people.

I am DONE not caring.

I am DONE waiting to be thinner instead of making it happen.

I am DONE being the fat girl.

I am DONE.
