I gained a lot of weight in my first semester of pastry school and I made a commitment on New Years to lose it this year! It's the begining of Autumn and I've already lost 20 lbs and 7-10 inches off my waist!! I have about 16 to go and my goal is to crack down through the end of the year and reach my goal by New Years 2010!! I have learned to exercise and eat right and it comes more natural to me now! It's definitely a lifestyle change!! It feels so good to be healthy and to be slimming down and to know I can stay this way!! I'm proud of myself!! My goal is in sight!! I look forward to maintianing!
I can't wait to really enjoy wearing all the cute vintage styles I love so much and wear them with confidence!! I also make some of my own clothes and I want a cute figure so I can enjoy planning and making clothes for myself!
I don't want my weight and how I feel about myself to hold me back ever again!!
