My name is Amy and this is my first blog. Ever. And I didn't know it when I was younger (more like I didn't care as much) but I've always seemed to struggle with my weight. No, I'm not considered obese but there was a point in my life where I was told by my pediatric physician that I was in fact over weight (she promptly handed me a brochure about being overweight and told me I had to "do something" about it). Of course that wasn't what she really said but it couldn't have been put in any other way to make me feel any better about myself. And I didn't really even try to do anything to change the way I felt.
Growing up I was the nerd. I had everything going for me: glasses, acne, braces, inability to socialize well (which derived from my low self-esteem) and a plump figure. I was traumatized, to say the least, in middle school about many of these characteristics that I had to grow out of.
Now that I'm older I've got more fashionable glasses, no more acne, brace-less, can hold a conversation (I'm not all that awkward anymore--and I hope you see the humor in this), BUT I'm still uncomfortable with my body. So instead of continuing to make all of these empty promises to myself on eating better and working out, I've bought a product which will surely work if I apply myself and started a blog as a guilt factor for when, in the future, I think of straying away from my goal.
