Body Image Issues
This has to be one of the hardest things I have ever had to post. But yes this is a shirtless picture of me. I have hated my body for as long as I could remember. My weight has been an issue for me for a long time. In school I would be made fun on a daily basis of for being larger than most people my age. Some nights I would even cry myself to sleep, fearing that I will never be skinny enough to actually fit in. QQ I just feel that this is not the body that I was meant to have, when I think of myself, hell even when I dream, I am never this large, but mirrors tell a different story. So every year my New Year’s resolution has been the same, to lose weight. Has it ever worked? No. Results are brought about by actions; I have not taken enough action. Sure I would try my hardest to lose weight, but it always ended in me giving up. However, now that I am being more true to myself; coming out as being gay, thanks to seeing @gaga at the artRAVE. [[rainbow]] That alone has given me one of the greatest confidence boosts that I have needed! Now I am being more vigilant on what foods and how much I have been eating I can say I have started to see results. I was at 195 pounds two weeks ago, and I am now at 183, I can’t believe that I have lost 13lbs!! :D I feel as though I am finally on the right track, to my goal weight of 120lbs. I hope just by posting this also gives me a reason to want to work even harder towards my goal, since I now have let so many of you know what I want, I don’t want to start to reverse what I have done so far and become a failure now. So say what you want about me, if you're wondering, know that I'm not sorry, do what you want, what you want with my body!! #bodyrevolution #bodyimage #bullying #dowhatuwantwithmybody #fat #weight #weightloss #artRAVE #ARTPOP #ladygaga #gaga #gay #gayboy #ItGetsBetter
