Weight Loss


[ee cummings]


most of my readers don't know that i used to weight 314 lbs. in highschool. i was always the one picked on for being the fattest. but, after highschool, i was able to lose over 100 lbs., and i became a totally different person. i am confident, funny, and much more aware of the world and it's workings because i actually enjoy going out.


i say all that because i still want to lose just a little more weight, more of a vanity thing, i guess. i made a committment to eat right and watch what i put in my mouth.


i've had people ask me how i lost so much weight, and i have said, "just develop some food allergies." then, i laugh and tell them weight watchers (which is wonderful). but i do have allergies. i have an allergy to gluten, almost as severe as a celiac. i also have a severe allergy to lactose (dairy, etc.). i can tell within minutes if something has had lacotose/ dairy in it! i also have a slight case of ibs. not fun, but i can still live a relatively normal life free from all of the crap and processed foods that people gorge on because it's cheap.


i have gone 5 days of eating right and staying within my points, and i feel great already! i am going to keep on doing it! woo!


i challenge all of my readers to do the same. try eating right and keeping yourself clean by eating things that your body actually loves!

  1. Good for you, Lauren! I'm trying to lose weight too but haven't been able to shed any yet. (I've only been trying...and only halfheartedly :(...for two weeks).
