Hopefully this is true.
My name's Kim. I'm 18 (for 17 more days), 5' 7", and here comes the kicker - - - 247 pounds.
I'm tired of it.
I've always struggled with my weight. When I was little I was the chubby kid. All of my classmates made fun of me in grade school and even though they slowed on the ridicule as we all matured, I still feel like they're laughing at me. That on top of an already low self image is what's tearing me apart.
I feel ugly.
I feel useless.
I feel helpless.
I want to get over this. So I'm taking that first step. I feel like if I commit myself to this blog, to sharing my struggle, all of the ups and downs, that I will stick it through. I've lost weight before, I've "felt better before", but I wasn't healthy about it. That's probably why I'm even heavier now.. I want to do better this time. So that's what I'm going to try to do.This will be a place for me to mark my successes, no matter how small, and to voice my disappointments.
Let's see where this goes.
