Hi there! My name is Valerie and I am 22 years old. This is my journey to lose 100+ pounds by the time I graduate college in June 2013. I tried losing weight during Summer 2011, and it worked, but it didn't stick once I went back to school. This is now the time to build a better, healthier, and happier me :)
Going to start using this tumblr again
I had a customer at work last week who really put things into perspective for me and taught me that weight loss is mental. It should be done for me and my well-being. She told me her story about how her doctor told her that she had thyroid & heart problems and if she didn’t lose weight she would die. She would later find out that her doctor misread her analysis and that she was completely fine. But it was enough to scare her. The store had seriously only been open an hour and she already had me crying. So I’m going to start making video diaries for myself to stay sane mentally. And hopefully everything else will fall into place.
