After becoming so fed up of living in a fat suit and having it hold me back, in February of 2011, I embarked on a journey to become a better, healthier, more confident person. At that point in time, I was 258lbs. I could have weighed more than that, but I will never know because I was terrified of knowing the truth about my weight.

However, On Wednesday 6th May, I stepped on the scale and weighed in at 158lbs. At that point, it was just another weigh in. I'd lost another point and was content. It was only until my boyfriend asked me how much I had lost in total that I had a surprise.

I've lost 100lbs since starting my weight loss journey!

Since finding out that number, I have been much happier with my loss for this week. I'm about 8-or so pounds away from being a healthy weight. Yes, it will be JUST a healthy weight at something like 24.8bmi. However, that's a damn sight better than the 48-50bmi I was last year!

I've decided that when I've got to my goal weight, I want to get something to symbolise the journey, to remind me to never go back to the girl stuck in the fat suit.

I'm thinking about getting a Tattoo.I'm not completely set on that yet, but I'm definitely thinking about it. I don't want anything cheesy or anything that DIRECTLY relates to my weight loss. Something subtle like a Butterfly. I always think that a butterfly sort of symbolises my journey. Like a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. Like a a girl finally being released from that fat suit.

I don't ultimately know what my goal weight is. I never really wanted to put a number on it. I just wanted to get down to a weight where I feel comfortable with my body, which unfortunately is not yet.I want rid of the horrible belly and huge thunder thighs before I will be satisfied.

Hopefully it wont be long until the stubborn fat from these places start to come off! :)
