wonderfulworld

First off, if anyone is wondering why I titled my blog “wonderfulworld,” it is a song that I am currently listening to. The artist is James Morrison and I feel that is one of the most relatable songs out there. I’m sure many of us could apply the lyrics to our lives at the moment.

OK! Now onto the real reason I’m doing this. Ever since I was about 7 years old, I have been overweight. Once I started going to middle school, I became more aware of my appearence and looked into losing weight. For about six months, I stuck with a low fat diet and was rewarded with dropping some lbs. However, I eventually gave up and put the weight back on.

For about a year now, I have been hovering around 210-220 on the scale. I’m currently a freshman in college and dealing with a lot of outside stress from my Dad undergoing chemotherapy, depression and of course a social life! I have always been lucky when it comes to family and friends. I have such amazing social network and don’t have any problems with being an outgoing person. I still feel that my unhealthy habits are officially affecting my life as a student, daughter, sister and friend.

There’s no question that this will be a BIG struggle, but if I don’t get my life on track now…Will I ever? So, all I’m asking for is some encouragement and motivation.

All in all, here’s to changes for the better and the bumpy road ahead. Best wishes!

-Rebecca, Becky, Becca…whoever you want me to be.
