About Me
I'm Mimi, and I'm fed up. Literally.
Fed up to 165 pounds and fed up of the endless cycle of starting a new diet, not dieting, staring in the mirror at my body, being discouraged when I try on clothes and staring at other girls I wish I looked like.
I know I'm not 'fat'. I don't think I'm fat by any means, but the problem is that I haven't been comfortable in my own skin or fully confident in a few years. I've gone up and down between about about 10lbs for years, but lately I can't lose it.
It's important to know my stats, because most of us want to follow someone's story that is similar to our own. I think it's normal to want to resonate with the starting point, lifestyle, and age.
So here are my Stats:
5 ft 7
165 lbs
29 years old
High: ~174 (3 yrs ago, ~2016)
Low: ~ 138 (10 yrs ago, ~2008)
On a BMI chart, this embarrassingly tells me that I am 'overweight' with a BMI of 25.8.
Weigh loss can be very controversial. I'm not here to be told I am wrong, shouldn't care about the scale, or that going off what an internet BMI chart says isn't how I should measure my health.
What I'm here for is to share my story. Hold myself accountable. Try new workouts and diets. And hopefully inspire other people who feel the way I do, to keep trying!
My Goal:
My starting goal weight is 145 lbs. I want to be realistic. I was ~145 lbs in college and looked and felt great. I looked lean and strong in my opinion. I want to be healthy, confident, lean and fit!
My Lifestyle:
I work for a start up in San Francisco and have a desk job. I commute about an hour or more each way to work and sit most of the day. I do believe this is one attribute of my weight gain over the years. I do workout but sometimes I'm inconsistent. I'm either going to the gym or I'm drained from a long day of work and plop on the couch for the rest of the night. I've been dating my boyfriend for about 2 1/2 years and we currently live together in a condo that we rent.
So, here is to my journey! Wish me luck!
