16- when did you first decide to lose weight?

It’s always been a thought in the back of my mind…but I was too afraid for the longest time that people would make fun of me for trying to lose weight. I hated talking about it. I was too embarrassed to say, “Mom, I’m fat. I want to lose weight.” But one day I just decided that I need to be healthy. I built up the nerve and for my birthday I asked for a gym membership. 

I officially started my journey on January 15th, and I vow never to quit :)
I’ve come so far already, who knows how far I can go!
