This is my personal blog where I will post anything that fits my interests and liking. I like to make text posts about random things.

I made the decision not long ago to crack down and lose weight. My total goal is 135lbs, until that goal has been reached, the current small goal is 25lbs. Keep up with progress here!

72 lbs total lost | 12 lbs lost from goal
35lbs & 25lbs goals reached!

16. Feel beautiful in dresses.A lot of women don’t love dresses, but I’m one of the many that does, and it sucks that I don’t feel beautiful in a dress. I’d love to be able to wear a dress in the Summer, or go to a nice restaurant and wear something other than jeans.Note: The dress used in the image is a dress I wanted to get for my Sweet 16. However, I never got a Sweet 16, and the dress, as far as I could find, didn’t come in my size anyways. I really hope to own it someday.

15. No worry over weight limits.Clearly I’m not 2,500 pounds, nor do I make a dent in that number…but when it comes to elevators, you can make quite the dent when you’re heavy if the elevator happens to be old and rickety, or a bunch of people ignore the fact there is a weight limit and just crowd in with their over-packed bags. Elevators aren’t my only scare. I worry about things from beds to exercise equipment, chairs and even amusement park rides. I’m tired of worrying about checking for weight limits, and being afraid that my weight is all that’s needed to cause something to collapse.

14. Have a larger variety of clothing to choose from.My current size (at least, before I started losing weight) is one of the hardest plus sizes to find, despite it being one of the larger sizes found in stores. I find every size in the stuff I want but my own, including just a size smaller! It’s frustrating walking into a store, and not just being able to not find your size, but liking all of the stuff available in smaller sizes. After I got older, I realized I didn’t mind being plus size, but I do mind being unhappy that stuff I’d rather have is not in the plus size section.

13. Be someone’s inspiration.Maybe it’s strange to be driven by the simple fact I want to inspire someone, but I am. I want to be someone’s inspiration, motivation, role model. I want to show people that have always had the same hard times as me that they can do it too. I’ve always thought that if I were successful, anyone could be. I like the idea that maybe my success will drive someone else toward their own.

12. Cosplay with confidence. [x]Do not, in any way, let me discourage someone from cosplaying. It’s for people of all shapes and sizes. However, me personally? I won’t cosplay with the weight I am. I’d love to dress up and go to conventions, but not until I’m more comfortable. One of my dream cosplays with be KOS-MOS, and no way I could be her right now!

11. Feel flawless in a wedding dress.Okay, so maybe a wedding for me is a ways off. However, one thing I’ve always worried about is not being happy on that day because of my weight. I want to feel great in a wedding dress, and not have to worry about getting one with sleeves because of my arms. I also don’t want to get engaged and have to pressure myself to get down to where I want to be within months.

10. Always be self-confident.Sure, sometimes I’m a very confident person, no matter what I look like. Despite my weight, sometimes I feel gorgeous. However, this does fade from time to time, always because of my weight. I’m tired of going through that.

09. Be able to wear crop tops.Love crop tops. They’re so cute/hot. And I love them more when they show some back too. I’d love to be able to wear my first one.

08. Have an easier time finding bras.Right now finding bras is difficult, and they’re usually very expensive because I can only find good ones in department stores that costs tons of money. I can’t afford to pay $30-$60 per bra. Oh, and being able to fit into Victoria’s Secret’s bras would be nice too.

07. Enjoy the beach again.I’ll blame everything but my weight. I don’t want to go because it’s the heat. Because of the sand. Because of the ocean. Because it’s overcrowded. But in reality I don’t want to go and enjoy the beach like I used to because I don’t feel comfortable wearing my bathing suit around so many people.
