This is my future sister in law and me at the park 2 days ago. I (Noemi) am the one with all the tattoos in case u were wondering. Funny story to why I start my blog off with this picture. My future sister in law just turned 17, and she quickly became one of my best friends. I sometimes feel like a mentor for her and she talks to me about everything. I really love her but there is a big difference between us that not might come down to the age thing. She is a teenager so she eats like a teenager. Let me tell you midnight deep fried oreos are amazing haha. But you see I don't metabolize food like a 17 year old. I am 22 years old and my junk food eating days are behind me. I am 180 lbs and stand at 5'4, I never have seen myself as fat, yet sometimes I see pictures of myself and I wonder why the hell I look so bloated if I don't feel bloated. According to the BMI I am 40 lbs overweight...putting me on the obese side of the scales. I have not been the thin type since I was 15. I usually kept my weight around 160 after that but ever since I moved in with my boyfriend and his family I have gained 20 lbs. It's the junk food that is getting to me. My boyfriend has a high metabolisim and is super thin he eats all the time and we have a relationship with food. It seems like I have built a relationship with food with all of his family. But I just can't keep doing it. I am 22 and I feel like I am 30. This should be the prime of my life and I don't feel like it. I chose this picture because I was wearing shorts that day, we walked for about an hour and a half and by the time we got back home my right thigh had multiple tiny cuts on it due to shaffing. Shaffing! I can't wear dresses or skirts or even apperantly shorts without worrying about shaffing! I am 22!! My 49 year old mother doesn't even have to worry about that problem!! I need a change I really do! So I start today, my journey to 155 that is all I want I don't want to lose my curves but I do want to have more confident!
