Well i don't know if mine would nesseccarily qualify for a "success story" but here's my story.In middle school was not "fat" but chubby.I was 5'2 or 5'3 in 7th grade and weighed around 135-140 pounds.I was embarassed of myself,i had a best friend who was really pretty and all the guys liked her which put me down.Guys had no interest in me,they would call me "ugly" or "beat" (which is another term for ugly).I would come home everyday crying because i couldn't stand school.When my friend wanted to hang out expecially with guys,i would say i was sick or not allowed out.I was ashamed to eat in front of people,so i would sneak food in my room or under the table in the kitchen so no one could say anything to me about what i was eating.I felt like i didn't belong anywhere.There was a point where i was so depressed and unhappy that i didn't even want to live anymore.But i decided to turn myself around and not let things get to me.The summer before 9th grade i decided to work on myself.My mom had this pilates tape which was a 30 minute video.I would do that 4x during the week monday-friday when my parents weren't home so my parents wouldn't know i was excerising,they would've make a huge deal out of it.Besides that,i would also go on an exercise bike that i also did'nt eat after 7 p.m,That was the tough part because i was a big late night snacker.I also had to watch my sweets.I did that the whole summer.When i started high school,everyone noticed i was losing weight and saying i looked great.It boosted my confidence greatly.In 8th grade i was at a size 11,going into 9th grade i became a size 9.During the school year i still continued the exercise routine i had,along with gym in school (i had 80 minutes for gym which really helped me out with losing weight).In the middle of my freshmen year,i became a size 7,then in sophomore year gym helped me out once again.I got to use the weight room in my school which taught me how to use different machines to target my problem areas,i used them for about 5 months along with that exercise and eating routine.That year i went into a growth spurt and was a height of 5'6,which also thinned me out.I got to a size 5.By the time junior year came around i was a size 3.I can even fit into some pants that are a size 1!Which surpised me so much.I dropped 5 sizes in about 2 years that's amazing to me because i never though i could do it,and i accomplished my goal.People say i can't even recognize you from when you were a/in freshmen/middle school.They say i look amazing now,i mean it's weird to see that im giving my best friend a run for her money now lol.I look at pictures from back then and feel sorry for that danielle who felt like she was hopeless,but then i smile because that danielle is gone now,and she's the happiest she's ever been.I love myself now which i could'nt say before.So after you read this,go take a walk around the block,it feels good trust me!(i used to hate walking and running but now i love it)and you'll feel so much better.I know it's hard to start out and drop those potato chips and just start exercising.True,that is the toughest part starting out,but once you get over that point,there's no stopping you.Don't tell yourself you can't do something,because you can!
GOOD LUCK! :D
