weight a minute!

so earlier today i was browsing through old photos on my computer & YUCK i came across this disgusting photo to the right. this is me freshman year of college at a whopping 180 pounds. -confused face- because i didn't go off to college this heavy; but some how i gained the freshman 15 times 2 in only ONE semester. the semester following this photo i transferred back home and decided that my new years resolution for 2008 would be to lose weight. i was so determined and after many failed diet attempts in my lifetime, i succeeded. By simply walking everyday, cutting all fast food & soda, i lost 25 pounds in two months.. and i've kept it off for two years now :] i have always struggled with my weight. --as a kid i was always bigger than everyone else with my wide set hips and my big butt. my self confidence was zero to none and all i ever wanted was to be skinny. to this day i STILL struggle with my weight, and i probably always will. the only difference now is that i've learned to embrace each and every one of my curves & love myself unconditionally. the photo to the left was taken in november of 2009. now thirty pounds lighter than the other photo; i am happy, but most of all healthy. i try to workout at least 4-5 times a week & i can usually eat whatever i like (sensible portions of course). but over the holidays i, like many of you threw my healthy eating habits out the window and down the street. so as of tomorrow morning i plan on getting back on schedule and back in shape. wish me luck ♥ --emma.
