Fast Teen Weight Loss

Hiya everyone :)

My name is Sarah, but most people call me Smiley's. You know how "Bigger" people tend to have big smiles? Well, that's pretty much what I had. I still have a nice smiley but I lost some serious weight over the past 2 years and most of it was in the past 5 months or so.

I spent most of my life being overweight. Ever since I can remember really. The first time I really realized it was when my friends were making fun of me in second grade. Like most kids at recess in second grade, we played kick all. All of us, the boys the girls, different grades all together. I was "Up to kick" and I completely missed. I can't even remember the kids name now but some boy started laughing and making fun of the fake "Tornado blast of air my fat leg made" when I missed. My life pretty much only got worse from there.

I totally internalized it and never really let on to anyone that it bothered me. Occasionally I'd break down and cry in the bathroom, but I was really embarrassed about it and never told anyone. Whenever I got uncomfortable I would just smile. That's kinda how I got the name smiley's I guess. I was always smiling even though I was really upset.

About my sophomore year of high school I couldn't take it anymore. I didn't want people to think of me as the fat girl and I started looking for products to give me the tools I needed to lose weight on my own, and naturally. I didn't want to take a bunch of drugs or stuff and I wanted it to be something easy.

I tried 3 different products and each on worked in it's own sort of way. 2 didn't work as well as the last one but over the course of about 2 years I lost a total of 30 lbs. That's a lot! I can actually run now. Not kinda jog and want to die, but run... for more than 50 feet. I can out run a lot of the guys I hang out with and that's totally awesome feeling. I'm now the "Fit" girl but I don't really exercise that much.

Anyways, I made this blog to give you a little background on what I did and what worked for me, and what really didn't work as well. Like I said, everything worked for me in it's own way but 18 lbs of the 30 lbs I lost, I lost in the last 5 months with what I think was the best product out of the group. It's not perfect but I can't argue with being 18lbs lighter.

I broke this down to be pretty simple. I'm going to tell you a bit about everything I tried, and rate it in a few categories so that you have a better idea of where I'd put it. It will be like A+ through F-, kinda like school.

Cool? Okay, I'm excited now!

Talk to you soon :)
