Self-Realization

Since I was about 10 years old I have always struggled with my weight.
I had a gym membership since age 12.
And was on the Atkins diet by age 14.

And somehow where am I left today? 20 years old, at my heaviest weight, and a size 14 and evergrowing.

I have tried various diets and I have given working out the everlasting shot, but I always seem to make an excuse as to why I DON'T need to work out.

In the past ten years I have cut out foods I love ...
I gave up white breads.
I gave up soda.
I DO NOT eat fast food, not even salads from fast food.
I gave up on rice and potatoes (and then started eating them again when I realized I had not lost any weight from cutting them out of my diet)

I have done diets such as...
Weight Watchers
Atkins
and the South Beach Diet

I have had chubby buddies and even that didn't work out.

My weight has come to a point that I do not know what to do anymore to keep weight off, because it seems like no matter what I try I just keep on gaining.

Since starting college three years ago I have only gained 20 pounds, but now I can't get the weight off.

This summer I plan to explore my health, and my fitness, and my eating habits.
I plan to use this blog as a source of motivation, if I can get anyone to follow, hey that'd be great.
Maybe this blog can substitute as a chubby buddy because they always wind up convincing you that "One Slurpee won't hurt you" (try telling me that the 3rd day in a row we find ourselves in the 7eleven parking lot).

If there is anyone out there who comes across this scream for help leave a comment, give me your thoughts and advice, heck if I'm doing something wrong let me know!
