Greetings My name is Beverly Barnes and I am from Opelika Al. I'm 22 years old in college pursuing my associates degree in Medical Assisting and for long as I can remember I never in my life had been at a normal weight range. all the way from starting as a kid to what I am now I always been overweight. I tried just about everything.. diet pills, starvation, low calorie diets, pescatarian, vegetarian, low carb, the Fat smash diet by Dr.Ian.
Some of them worked well for me while others I failed all miserably! Now I'm thinking about going low carb diet with some focuses on being primal Primal with hardly ever any grains. and maybe some oatmeal here and there with my favorite shredded wheats since cant fathom the thought of not having those two as part of my breakfast. so basically what I'm trying to do is focus on being on a low carb diet and have my carbohydrates focused mainly on fruits and vegetables little grains. and having healthy fats such as olive oil and lean protein
I stand in at 5ft4 weighing in at 262 pounds well actually this cursed scale says 262.8 pounds but round that off you might as well say 263. now being at 5ft4 and weighing in at 262 thats a considerable amount of weight to carry. so that would put me in at morbidly obese category.
For a long time I ask myself "How did I let myself go like this?" "Why did this had to happen to me?" "Where did it all went wrong?" I know for a fact before I put in this excess baggage I was going through a couple things such as the Death of My Father six years ago that sent me to a whirl wind of deep depression and slowly destroying myself. I guess you can say I just snapped and had a mental breakdown. but now I'm fine and I'm slowly trying to build myself up again because I'm sure my father wouldnt want to be lost forever. and another thing was that I lazy and I didnt have enough self discipline
I know for a fact with the help of my family, friends, I will get to my goals. right Now I want to focus on getting to a goal of 140 pounds. I dont want to slim or skinny I just want to be healthy so that I can be happy with myself and live as long as I can. that would be my main goals of losing weight.
Well I hope things go well wish me luck and thank you for taking your time reading this.
xoxo
