Hey!!I am Mari Carmen and I am 21 years old. I'm gonna tell you a little about me so you can know me better and give me your opinion, tips, ideas or anything you like to :)
I decided to create this blog because I've always been ashamed of my body and I want to do something to change that. I al really young and I want to live my life when I can, and I feel like I'm missing a lot of things because of my "overweight".
Everything started when I was like 7 or 8 years old, until then I always was a tiny, thin, little girl -actually I was under the "regular weight" for my age. Around that age I started to gain a lot of weight so I went to the doctor (because I wasn't eating that much or doing anything different for all the extra weight I gained) and they told me I had a hormone problem (I'm not gonna say a lot about it, but just that I had a masculine hormone working too much).
Anyway, I started a diet when I was like 16 or so for my sister's wedding, and I actually lost around 10-12kg (22-26lbs) in like 6months (I don't really remember, it was a long time ago)- so I went from almost 80kg (176lbs) to around 66kg (145lbs). Even dropping all that weight I still was "fat" because I am 1'58m (5'1ft), so as you can see I am short. One of the things it helped me more was having the meals ready when I got home from school, or let's say it clear, having my mom cooking them for me, so when I got home food was ready and I couldn't pick anything else.
Also, at that time my veggies diet was bad, so I didn't eat a lot of things (just green beans, spinach, puree... and not much more) so when I had something like "grilled chicken breast with salad", I only ate the chicken because I didn't like the salad (and actually I still don't). So I guess my stomach got smaller too.
However, I gained all that weight back over the years. Also last year I lived in the U.S for a whole year and I gained there like 7kg (15lbs) so (and I think was my HIGHEST weight) I was like 85kg (187lbs) or so. Can you believe it? I am so short for that weight! In my last months in the U.S I lost a couple kg and since I'm back home I've lost around 5 or 6 (kg) more.
So my current weight it's around 76.5kg (169lbs).I am so decided that I wanna do this, I NEED IT, for myself. Because I've always been so shy, with so low self-estime... I don't even let my best (girl)friends touch my tummy -what she is trying to fix touching it sometimes like therapy.. LOL.
And is not that I don't exercise, I just don't exercise enought and don't eat as well as I should. I play handball, so I have practive twice a week for like 1.30h each. But what about the rest of the days?I really don't like running, it's so boring to me, but I even bought a running shoes to try (I went once :( )
Well, I think my goal weight should be around 50-55kg (110-120lbs)So... I have more than 20kg (44lbs) to lose! WHAT AM I WAITING FOR?
P.S. One girl that totally inspired me with this is Mook. I meet her in the U.S and it's amazing how far she has come. I hope she doesn't mind that I let you here the link to her facebook page Healthy with Mook.
Thank you for your support!
WE CAN DO IT!
