Hi, I turned 15 a couple of months ago, and I’ve struggled with my weight since I was 13.
I used to be on the swim team, and I was very fit. Everyday I would swim over a mile in the pool, and twice a week the rest of the swim team and I had to do bleacher miles on the football stadiums.
Anyway, I had an accident where a fell, pretty high up, and shattered my right leg. I had an operation where a metal plate was screwed into my right leg to keep the bones together, and pins placed in my ankle.
Because of that surgery, I now have limitations to my exercise. Yes, I can still run, which I do often (I don’t enjoy *running* too much, but I love the feeling after wards… Being tired and getting my energy out) since I’m on the dance team. Unfortunately, after I run, my ankle hurt so bad it hurts to walk on it. Sometimes I randomly get pain from the side of my leg (where the metal plate is) but it eventually fades away.
I used to weigh 113 pounds, and a few about 6 months after my accident, my weight shot up to 140 pounds! Last summer, I went on a fruit and veggie diet, which worked really well! I was able to drop my weight down to 133 (even at night, when your weight is the heaviest!) and my pants and clothing were looser. It didn’t make me feel depressed or hungry, in fact, my appetite went away. The only problem with that is I don’t like feeling restricted. If I ate one thing, I’d gain a pound or two. I don’t like living like that.
My mom told me about this website called Sparks people, and told me that I needed to eat 1800 calories a day (versus the 900 that I was eating). Well, thanks to their advice, I’ve gained 4 more pounds. My weight now resides at 144. So now, I am officially overweight… By 2 pounds. Even if I weren’t overweight, I don’t like being chubby. My arms and legs are chubby and I just feel dirty because of it. I’m going to Japan as a foreign exchange student, so I want to be SLIM. (by the way, I didn’t eat junk food to get the 1800 calories, I just ate more fruit or more food at dinner time).
This summer, I want to run in the morning and swim in the afternoon. I want to be SLIM though so bad! I want to be fit, but a slim body is really what I want! So, will Sensa work? In the before-and-after photos, the people are always very slim.
Sorry for the grammatical errors. I didn’t catch them until I re-read the description. I typed really fast, and it’s quite late. Please ignore it!
