I'm a dancer. A Singer. An actress. A fashionista. An artist. A photographer. A blogger. A daughter. A caring friend. Awkward. Silly. Fat.
No, not fat. Misguided. Mislead. Unhealthy.
But is that going to change?
I plan on it.
A week and a half ago I made the pledge to be healthy. I went into my local Jenny Craig with the plan that I was going to not go on a diet, but make a healthy lifestyle change. I mean, I had done it before. I lost almost 40 pounds. Then, things went downhill. My parents got a divorce, I lived in a hotel for 2 months and I was making the hard transition from middle school to high school. Slowly the pounds came back and doubled in size.
I have 70 pounds to lose.
By August.
How is that going to happen?
Well, truth is? I'd do anything to make that happen.
I'm in the midst of making another hard transition, just like I was the last time I was on Jenny. I'm about to go from high school in Arizona to college in New York. Is that crazy or what? I'll be pursuing what I love and what I believe I'm meant to do: Being on stage. It's more important than anything to me and I'm willing to do anything to succeed. #1 thing in show business? Be attractive. Make everyone want you or want to be you. Talent helps quite a bit, but who wants a fat Mary Poppins? It's just not the same.
Of course, I'd realized it before; the weight-loss getting in the way, but then I thought... "I'm getting older". Sure, I may only be seventeen, but I've already wasted seventeen years. Do I want to waste another? I don't think so.
So, that's how I ended up at Jenny.
On this blog, I plan to write about my trials and tribulations, goals, struggles, accomplishments.... All the way till the 70th pound is lost.
