The First Day

I used to be a size ten. I was skinny when I went to college, and ended up gaining over fifty pounds during my three and a half years of University. I'm currently a size sixteen and have been asked numerous times if I am pregnant. I'm not.

I've finally realized that I need to do this to survive. I have scoliosis and have been told since I was young that if I do nothing, I'll end up in a wheelchair by the time I'm 25. I turn 22 in ten days and there is no way I'm going to let that happen to me.

I guess my attitude has been that I already have stretch marks, so what's the point in trying to lose weight when I'll look even weirder with massive stretch marks. I'm a huge fan of designer fashions, and torture myself by looking at dresses I'll never get to wear. But I'm going to change all that. I'm going to lose this weight and look good.

So, I've started this training session with a personal trainer. Today was the first day, and boy am I sore! We did lunges, jumping jacks, worked our abs....and so much more! I'm nervous to think what Thursday will bring!

The purpose of this blog will be to report my progress, and will also help me keep a food log. Any support or suggestions would be great!
