Hi, there! I am a 24 year old wife and mother who is currently working as a DSP and trying to get in/through nursing school. I used to think I struggled with my weight for most of my life, but the truth is, certain people in my life continually told me I was fat, the media told me I was fat, and I let myself believe it. Now I really am fat. I'm no longer bowing to popular opinion and I am going to be a healthy, happy, sexy size 12...so there.

Hi, there! I am a 24 year old wife and mother who is currently working as a DSP and trying to get in/through nursing school. I used to think I struggled with my weight for most of my life, but the truth is, certain people in my life continually told me I was fat, the media told me I was fat, and I let myself believe it. Now I really am fat. I'm no longer bowing to popular opinion and I am going to be a healthy, happy, sexy size 12...so there.

One of my favorite songs says it all to that which I am leaving behind:

When I'm done with thinking, then I'm done with you.
When I'm done with crying, then I'm done with you.
When I feel so tired, then I'm done with you.
Everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way
And I do.
You can't hear it, but I do.
You can't hear it, but I do.
You're trying to convince me that what I've done's not right.
I get so frustrated, I stay up every night.
You ask me for an answer, and I'm so tired that I'm up in the air.
Everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way
And I do.
You can't hear it, but I do.
You can't hear it, but I'm feeling this way just because you say
I will be ignored and
I will be denied and
I could be erased and
I could be brushed aside and
I will get scared and I will get shoved down,
But I feel like I do because you push me around.
I'm starting to ignore you, I've doubted you so long.
I'm tired of overthinking, I know you don't belong.
Now I'm asking questions - no one pushes me around.
Everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way -
And I do.
You can't hear it, but I do.
You don't seem angry, but I do.
I do
