Today, my cousin got married and I was the fattest girl at the wedding.
As a Chinese girl, all of my female relatives are petite and expect other women to be petite. Today, I got trampled on and harassed by aunts/uncles/cousins/family friends about my weight.
"Ohhh, you're such a BIG girl now!"
"Wow, you look so stocky and.... strong!" (LOL nice save /s)
"Hm, living in America must have a lot of temptations!"
"Why are you eating so much?"
"Don't worry, you'll lose the baby fat one day right?"
"You need to work on your weight."
ouch.
Never have I been more ashamed of myself; I felt like I was sticking out from the crowd like a big, fat, walking potato. I know I shouldn't listen to what others say, but there is some truth to their words. I am fat. All of my friends are skinny, fit, unafraid of bikinis and stripping down, and I feel like I'm missing out on life. I'm in high school. It's my senior year! I should be past all that insecure shit and in the prime of my life by now! But nope, I've been feeling like I am losing myself more and more with each passing day. When I see myself in reflections and pictures, I'm in denial: that can't be me... I'm healthy and fit, right?
Of course, at 180 pounds, 5'7'', and only 17 years old, I am definitely overweight. I need to change that... and I believe I can. With a good support system. My family could care less about me; I'm pretty much the butt of all their ruthless jokes and I live in the shadows of my successful, fit, stereotypically-chinese older brothers. Please help me and friend me on MyFitnessPal so I can have some people to hold me accountable, so I can have people who support me and believe in me on this journey (other than myself)! https://www.myfitnesspal.com/helpmeweightloss
My goal is to lose around 50 pounds in 6 months. This means having a 1000 calorie deficit every day from my maintenance of 2,200 calories, to lose 2 pounds per week and around 7-8 pounds per month. I'm going to begin eating 1,200 calories or working out so help me God!!
I'm ready to change my life!
Please leave any advice you have for me below! I am young but ready to learn anything.
