Hello world! My name is Stephanie, and I’m 20 years young.

I created this blog as a tracking device for my goals in weight loss.

My weight has fluctuated growing up and lately has plateaued at an unhealthy number (especially for my height). As brutal is it’s been.. Growing up (even now), I’ve been the victim of endless rants and comments from friends (in very rare occasions) and family members about the size of my body. Ever since I could remember I’ve built up a wall when hit with comments about the size of my tummy, or the roundness of my cheeks, but as soon as I get a moment alone I react in a way that a child would when finding out their puppy just died.

I’m not a sensitive person. I can take a hit when it comes to me, verbally anyways lol But when it comes to my self image, I shut down. Why? This is how people see ME. And how people see me, is how I see myself (sorta). Yeah, I’ll admit it I’ve got some body conscious issues I need to get over and need to love myself more. But I think we all have certain battles we need to fight within ourselves.

In this blog I’ll be as open and honest as I can possibly be. That way, with my numbers & pictures posted up on the internet for everyone to see —THERE’S NO LOOKING BACK! I’ll use this as a means for motivation in pushing myself that I need to reach my goals.

Here’s to a new me! :D
