My new journey : Why

I took steroids since I was four years old, so weight gain is with that, among other things. For a long time, I felt terrible because I wasn’t society’s image of pretty, and I disliked myself, which was awful for my mental health. About three years ago, I finally got confidence and found my voice. Therefore why get rid of weight when I’m confident in myself. The easy answer is my confidence only shows up once in a while, but other than that, I’m self-conscious every day. I love plus-sized people; this is why In my opinion, their personality is better than regular people. Losing weight is not because I don’t want to be part of this community because these are amazing people that are kings and queens. This is for me; that’s why before I started, I consulted my older sister because she helps me with these kinds of things .she said before I start, I needed three good reasons that are for myself and not about everyone else. The first is my lifestyle before wasn’t healthy; it was radical and without schedules. I need to make a change for the better that can benefit me physically and mentally. The second is I want to fill comfortable in my skin. For example, the thing that I hate is clothes shopping. I should be able to love buying clothes for myself, but I don’t because I fill uncomfortable. The plus-size community does not have good shopping options, and it’s expensive when there are options. This is why I don’t fill comfortable because I can’t wear the clothes I want. I wear oversized things because there’s nothing better to wear and tight clothes make me uncomfortable. Along with that, the plus-sized community shouldn’t feel bad every time they go shopping. My third reason is that I want to be looked at like everyone else is because I want to be treated equally. When people see bigger people, they imagine that we are lazy and we eat a lot, and this is a humongous misconception. When you are bigger, you get more ridiculed then a regular person. I want people to know me for me and not judge me by my size from the first time they see me. Like people think, I don’t play sports because I’m lazy, but I grew up camping and playing sports. The reason I quit soccer, basketball, tennis, and track is because of my bad asthma, and I didn’t want to risk me being in the hospital anymore, then I have to be. My entire life I have been outside playing sports I love it but id rather sit out then go to the hospital. Even in the band, I have asthma attacks. This is why I’m doing this weight loss journey.
