I have finally decided to make a change in my life.  Why you ask?  I’ve always told myself throughout High School that I would be in shape before college.  Here it is the summer after my freshman year of college and I’ve stepped on the scale.  182….wait….182?  I mean yeah, I’ve always been a little chunky…but 182?  (According to my BMI that is only a few pounds short of obese for my height.)  I’ve been thinking to myself, “Girl. What are you doing?”

I have a hip condition that I was born with.  On the outside it just looks like I’m pigeon-toed.  (Most of the time being pigeon-toed is related to the knees, ankles, or feet.)  My hips are tilted, and the last 3 or 4 years it’s caused a lot of constant pain *unlike the random amount when I was younger* sometimes very sharp pains throughout the hip area.  I KNOW I need to loose wieght to get some of this pressure off of my hips-where coinsidentally–or maybe not– most of my wieght is carried.  I am almost 20…I’m worried about loosing my abillity to walk and if I can do something that could possibly help…I’m going to.  (Maybe I’m paranoid in this way.  I can’t help it…what else am I supposed to think?)  I’m not the most terrible off person in the world, there are people in situations physically that I cannot imagine, and I thank God for being able to do what I can.

So here’s to starting!

Also, if you look at my weight chart you will see that my mini-goal is on there.  I hope to reach that point by August 10th, 2009 because I’m going to a concert with my friend and it’s the week I begin moving back to college.

Hoping to make some friends so we can motivate each other!
