Changing Myself

A lot of the population in America suffers from obesity and being overweight. All this is due to long work hours in one place, fast food restaurants, the size increment in portions, and technology's hold on people. Obviously there are many other contributing factors, but these are what first came to my mind.

Anyways, me being part of that population, i am also overweight. I'm not proud of myself for that but that is why i'm making changes. To feel better about myself, because these past few years have been spent wondering how it feels like to have your clothes fit right.
To be able to choose what i wear without questioning if it's too tight, or what others will think when they see me. To feel confident in myself. To feel strong. To know all the things my body is capable of doing.
I'm sick of being like this, i want to be better. And i know it'll take time, the process will be long. But i need this, for myself.
So as much as i'm embarrassed of this, i'll sometimes post how i'm doing regarding this and all that (you know, weight blah blah etc.)
So far, the highest i've weighed myself has been 160.4 lbs. That was almost two weeks ago. Yesterday i got to 156.6 :) I want to get to 145-150 by August 24. And by December 2015, i want to be at 128-132 which is my ultimate goal weight. (I'm 5'3 btw)
Wish me luck!
Have a good day/night!
