Introduction

Alright,

I am blogging. I will try to stick with this because it's a good outlet, considering I don't really have anyone to share this journey with (well not full disclosure style anyway).

I'm Sarah, 23 years old (not for much longer though). I am a student, I am also overweight. I weigh about 242 pounds (110kg) right now.
In August of last year, something clicked inside my head and I realised I couldn't go on like this. This what? you say?: well, I was weighing 278 pounds and I was thoroughly unhappy. My life wasn't going the way I wanted it to, and I realised the only one to blame was myself. For a long time I tried to blame my parents for my weight problem, or I tried to blame my genes, or the world in general. Last August it occured to me that in fact, all it takes to lose weight it to man up, take control and lose weight. As Nike would say, Just Do It.
So, for a while, i just did it.

I have lost over 35 pounds, and while I lost motivation for a bit, I'm back on track and as ready as ever. While I haven't been losing any weight the last two months or so, I haven't been gaining either, which is something I'm relatively proud of. Maintenance is a first step.

But now it's on to a brighter future.
