"Going on a diet because of clothes is a completely different thing, it's a superficial reason; there's no obligation, nothing in your life depends upon it, apart from your wardrobe. ... You have to treat it as an unimportant challenge and that's why you succeed."

As of this date I am at *** pounds. I'm 5 ft. 2. That sounds ridiculous. In my defense, I have pretty large...assets. upper assets. I don't think I look *** pounds but I definitely look overweight...possibly obese (I AM medically obese). I have been trying to lose weight for almost 10 years now. About 5 years ago I got down to 7 pounds away from my goal weight. And then...I got re-diagnosed with epilepsy and was forced to be put on medication. Due to a variety of side-effects, general malaise, and laziness, here I am 5 years later with an extra 57 pounds.
Its disgusting, I'm at risk of diabetes (that is, if i don't already have it), i feel lackluster, I am not happy. yet when its 2 am and I have a choice between chocolate cake and broccoli..."i could be so much more healthy" just doesn't cut it anymore. what does motivate me is the fact that i may be able to wear stuff like this:
Alexander Wang @ theparisinyou blog.
and feel completely comfortable. I think larger people can wear whatever they want...and some can really pull it off. I am not one of these people. I feel so physically uncomfortable with the way I look, I just can't rock layers and exposed arms&legs confidently.
There'll be more about me. But so far, I'm looking at this as a fashion/photography/diet blog centered on me getting off my fat ass and achieving the weight and confidence needed to do Wang, Lim, Posen, Opening Ceremony etc. justice.
