Society Sucks

Today, I was lazily facebook stalking some classmates, when I came across a friend of mine (who is a male, btw) who became a fan of a page called, "You're fat, why do you dress like you're skinny?" I was immediately offended. Being quite overweight myself, I was disgusted in the fact that someone thinks a comment like that is acceptable. As if there are certain clothes that only a "skinny" girl can wear. I was especially offended because I like to dress cute. I have never used my weight as an excuse to be unfashionable. Sure, I could never pull off a bikini, but I love to look nice: it's a total confidence booster. I may not have my weight under control, but I can put together a nice outfit.
I don't understand Society's obsession with fat people. It's like because I'm overweight, everyone thinks it's okay to judge me and label me as a "fat girl". Weight is an extremely personal issue to young women and it's not right for media to portray it as a "societal issue". The real societal issue is society's obsession with weight. No one can change my weight but me, so butt out and let me do this by myself, without your input.
Anyways, I should probably introduce myself. I'm Sara, I'm 18, and I'm fat. Always have been. The last time I weighed myself, I was about 220 lbs. This was a while ago and I'm positive I've gained weight since then, but I'm afraid to step back on the scale. About two weeks ago, I decided it was time to give this whole weight loss thing another go. I've been going to the gym at least 6 days a week for at least an hour each day. I've been trying to watch what I eat, drink more water, and take the stairs instead of the elevator. Making these changes isn't the hard part. The hard part is waiting for the results.
I decided to start this blog for a few reasons:
1)To motivate me to keep this whole healthy lifestyle thing up.
2)To reach out and inspire other young women who may be in the same position
and
3)To give everyone an inside look at the trials of weight loss.
