View Full Version : I've decided to change.

I've decided to make a change. A big change, a serious change. It'll be a long, hard, road, but it'll be worth it in the long run. I have to change. I need to. If I don't, I'll end up dead or seriously ill. It isn't worth it.

I've made a committment to myself to be healthier. I've started drinking green tea (naturally decaffeinated)—my first glass, which was yesterday, was almost too disgusting for me to stomach, and I poured half of it away. But today I drank my whole glass and it tasted much better. Its an acquired taste. Just like a diet is. You have to weather it out, you have to work through it no matter how hard it is. And when you get over that first hump, the rest is easy.

I'm eating fruits and vegetables with every meal, eating healthier, strictly monitoring my diet, and exercising every day. I love researching diet plans—I've been very interested in it for a long time, and pursuing a career as a ditician/nutritionist seems like a great career choice for me. If I keep myself motivated I can become healthier and happier, and lose the weight I want to lose while maintaining a healthy diet and being healthier overall.

I've decided to make a change because eating healthier and doing healthy activities makes me feel better—I feel strong and happy and healthy, I feel good. It's very rewarding. Fruits and vegetables aren't as bad as they sound, just like green tea. You have to be motivated to get through it, bad and good, and stick with it. I've tried diets before, but I know that if I quit early on it'll never work. I need to make a change. I need it.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way. Although my ugliness can't be fixed, my health can. And feeling healthy will make me happier and will make me a better person. That's all I should need.

I'm so very glad to hear that you've chosen to do this the healthy way, best of luck!

Oh, and on another note- I looked at your pictures and you are gorgeous! Why can't you see that? :]

Gorgeous? No way. I'm plain, maybe normal. But I'm not gorgeous, beautiful or pretty. Not by a long shot.

Don't deny it. :]
I'm sure everyone believes that... but yourself.

I'm only denying it because it's not true. Certainly guys don't see anything good in me.

Hun..i have just recovered from several eating disorders and i can tell you that you have a disease that forces you to look at yourself in a destructive way. In reality you are actually quite pretty, even if you dont believe it. I actually KNOW you dont believe it but i dont care, im still going to say it: You are pretty.

I agree with Calen. I have been so overweight my whole life and ive tried everything to get skinny but ive come to realize that no matter how thin you are, you can never be pretty without believing you are. Im really happy to see that your trying to take the high road and be healthy! I know you dont want to hear it but your beautiful, and eventually you will see what the world sees but until then, be healthy and try to be happy with who you are
