Story: I play sports so I come home super hungry and I just eat ALOT. I'm 5'3" and I weigh 158 lbs. Not that overweight but still a little chunky. Being Thai, everyone always criticizes you and judges you. They won't even consider your feelings. My aunts and uncles and teachers always say that I need to lose weight. I always told them it's muscles because I'm athletic. My mom always criticizes me too like when I wear a sleeveless dress she makes me wear a cardigan. There was even one time she bought me and swim suit that was like a tank top and a skirt a long time ago. I wore it to show her this summer and she was like "that's cute but wear a cardigan over it" and I was like "mom, this is a swim suit.." Having a twin sister that's skinnier and prettier than you doesn't help either. I'm always being compared to her and people are always like "wow, why is she skinnier than you. Do you steal her food?" This is why I respect your family so much.
I've always been self-consious and I have super low self-esteem. Not even Cover Girl or Crazy For U makes me feel better about myself. A lot of Rushers said it has helped them but feel good songs never change the way I think of myself. It was during our fit test at the end of 9th grade when I was 150 lbs. I never weighed myself ever since 7th grade. I gained about 25 lbs in two years. I didn't even notice my weight gain(shocking right?). My brother said he'd buy me VIP concert tickets if I lost 10-15 lbs over summer. I started running a mile a day a month before school ended. My brothers found my dad's P90X dvd's so during summer I'd do that with them. They would work out at 12 in the morning though and I got tired of staying up so I stopped 45 days in. My oldest brother got us all gym memberships and I'd go swim laps and do leg work outs but we stopped going. Goal not achieved. In 10th grade I sprained my ankle around February-March. I was out for 2 months and I gained 10 lbs. Over summer I ran a mile a day and lost about 5 lbs. I didn't stick with it though. During December of Junior year my brother got Insanity. I did the first week and lost 5 lbs. I was so proud of myself. I stopped after that since finals were coming up and I got busy with school. After that I was pretty stable with 155 lbs. I started doing Insanity again the last month of school but I kept stopping and I'd start again two weeks later. During summer I had a set mind to lose 20 lbs. I would run 1-3 miles a day, depending if i ran with my brother or not, then I'd do Insanity. I cheated though because I'd only do one set of the three we had to do. I finished the whole month though. I went back to my 9th grade weight, 150 lbs. What helped me lose weight was my eating habits. I'd wake up at 12 in the afternoon so I'd eat one meal at that time then I didn't get hungry till about 5 and my mom doesn't let me eat after 6 unless it's fruits so I only ate two meals a day. Then I got lazy again near the end of summer and I went back to 152-153. School started and my weight shot up to 157-160. This was because I ate breakfast, then I'd have snacks for nutrition, then I had lunch, then I had post-work out meal, then sometimes another meal around 8. Even though we run way more than we have the past three years in basketball and we do weight training two days a week, I still weight a lot. I started Insanity again when school started but I'd do it on Monday and end up not doing it for like two weeks then start again and but not continue.
Goal: I really want to lose weight for prom but I never stay committed. I also get A LOT of homework this year too and we get out of basketball at 5-5:30. I don't have much time but I want to fit in running a mile or two and then doing Insanity. I want to eat better proportions of meals and eat healthier. I also want to stop procrastinating and do better in school.
