Disgusting

TAKE THE WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY WITH ME!
I am starting HCG tomorrow. It's a 6 week diet. We'll see how it goes.

Just wanted to let you all know that doing this was extremely difficult for me. But, I am tired of hiding. I' I'm sick of using my weight as a shield. So, as disgusting as this picture makes me feel, here it is. I'm not hiding anything. So here are my stats:
I am:
23 years old
5'2 inches tall
185 pounds
My measurements are 44, 40, 44.
There it is. Brutally honest. Where will I be in 6 weeks? Who knows.
I know what you're all thinking. Trust me, I'm thinking it too. Eww! NOBODY wants to see that- why would anyone put that up on the internet?
Simple.
I didn't want to.
I'm doing this because I'm sick of hiding. 2009 and 2010 were extremely difficult for m...needless to say, I packed on the pounds. I went from a wonderful 130 lbs to 150..to 160...then packed on 25 more pounds when I had surgery which was severely botched and had to be repeated  5 different times, forcing me to be stuck at home with hundreds of stitches in my sides. Now, at 185 lbs and only 5'2 inches tall, I feel gross. I literally feel heavy. I get winded walking up stairs or running out to my car. I was exercising for a while and sticking to it- then I moved to an apartment with no gym, my mother sold her house that had a gym in it, and it turned cold, preventing me from running. All I have to say is, thank GOD for On Demand Fitness TV.
But I could deal with everything...
Until I went to the doctor.
244? How could that be my cholesterol level? I don't eat fast food. I don't drink sodas. I don't eat fattening foods. I don't even KNOW where the fast food places in my area are. So how could my cholesterol be that high?
That scares me. That was really the kick in the pants that I needed to jump-start this weight loss thing. So yes, it's gross. But 99% of women out there look exactly the way I do. So what do I have to hide? YUp, I'm fat. I admit it. I have a BELLY on me, yes I do.
But...
I am coming out of my shell. I'm here to let you know that we are strong and we have nothing to hide. So let's do this thing!
