Tomorrow is the day when I start everything.
This is a new year and if I don't change my habits, I know that I'm going to regret it.
I'm eighteen. I stand at 5'6". I weigh 207 lbs, as of today.
I'm a music education major, and I'll be teaching in a few years. I don't want my students to refer to me as "the fat one." I also do a lot of theatre, and I know for a fact that my weight is holding me back from roles I could play so well. I've gotten numerous callbacks and when the list goes up, it's always a skinnier girl.
I'm auditioning for Prudy and Penny in Hairspray in the springtime. I don't want a skinnier girl to get the part. I want to be that skinnier girl. When I told people I was auditioning for the show, they asked if I was auditioning for Tracy. Although I would love to play the lead, I won't be playing "the fat girl."
I want to drop 20 pounds by May 25th. I think I can do it.
20 weeks.
20 pounds.
