2012… I might as well do something until we die.
After many hours of debate with Lysander about the fact that we’re both starting “Adulthood.” We’ve come to the conclusion that if 2012 really is the end of the world.. We should go out doing something productive with our lives. We’ve diagnosed ourselves with Adulthood Depression. The fear that this is the job you’re going to be in the rest of your life. The fear that you’re never going to get away from the town that people never leave. Honestly, we’re both terrified of our future’s.
Anyway. We’ve decided to start blogging about our lives and how we plan to improve them. There are many things that we both want, and since we only have a year left to our lives.. We might as well pick one thing and reach for it. For those people that have known me since childhood… You remember what I used to look like. My fattest point in life was my junior year. I was Sixteen and weighed 310 pounds. I was active.. But was I wasn’t at all pretty. After looking back on my life and realizing that my life was about a year away from a TLC special airing right after “Little People, Big World”, I decided that it was time to change it.
I lost the majority of my weight at the end of high school, dropping nearly 60 pounds over about a 7 month period. The other 40 pounds came off at the end of college.. With Lysander’s encouragement of course. Currently I weigh 198 pounds. I feel comfortable with how much I weigh.. But i’ve decided that it’s time to tone everything up and try to look better.
I feel that over the course of my life, people just looked at me and never expected me to change. I’ve decided to accept their challenge. If there’s one thing in life I hate, it’s people telling me that I can’t do something. So i’m going to document it all here. And it’s not for any of you. It’s for me. So if anyone has any objections or comments to make… Fuck Yourself. Everyone knows i’m bitchy. This year.. I’m just gonna be more positive about what I say when I tell people that I hate them and wish they would die. Because being positive makes for a happier lifestyle.
And Lastly.. If Erin Thompson ever reads this:
