Personal Narrative: 12 Week Weight Loss

Decent Essays
Hey Ya'll!

Thanks so much for coming by, grab a seat, a cold drink, and get comfortable. I am excited about this journey and I hope you will join me this summer.

My whole life I have struggled with my weight. I was always the "chubby kid" in school, and as I have gotten older, not much has changed, outside of my continuously growing dress size. As I am nearing my, (the number that shall not be named) birthday, it's now or never.

A couple of weeks ago, my gym sent out an email that they were hosting a 12-week weight loss challenge and I decided this was the time and a cash prize at the end was just the motivation I needed.

I will be navigating the world of counting macros, exercising, and changing my lifestyle completely.

    In my high school of over three thousand students, there are two Muslim students; I am one, and my younger sister is the other. Needless to say, deeming us minorities would be a bit of an understatement. My elementary school years deluded me with the superficial allures of assimilation into a primarily white, Christian community. I made constant attempts at blending into my effectively homogenous school, from fabricating stories about Christmas with my family to telling my friends that I had forgotten my lunch at home (thirty days in a row) as opposed to explaining the intricacies of fasting.…

    It is not Chipotle, but it will have to do. Everyone has had this thought at the end of the month when the money to spend on takeout has run out and now we are stuck settling with eating in the dining hall that we are forced to pay a ridiculous amount of money for. On the first tour of Baylor’s many dining halls they had put out the superior delicious food, I guess that must be kept in the back now. Back then it seemed as if there was an edible choice for anyone and everyone; including vegans, and the freshman fifteen seemed inevitable. Having been here now for almost a semester the façade of the likelihood of delicious vegan meals had faded long ago.…

    I have learned a lot about nutrition so far over the course of this semester. This diet analysis project was probably the thing that I have least looked forward to having to complete. I know my diet is poor, I figured I ate too many bad foods, but I didn 't expect it to be lacking essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in so many different areas. It 's truly amazing to see foods I thought were "complete" and "good" for me, aren 't really, and may actually hinder me in the quest for a truly healthy diet.…

    As I flipped through the latest “Seventeen” magazine, my eyes centralized solely on the teenage models dressed in tight fitting clothes with the headline saying, “How to Look Hot”. I carefully read the tips on diets and fitness routines that could help me lose weight. My goal was to look as skinny as those girls in the magazine. If I didn’t look like them, I wouldn’t be attractive. I mentally prompted myself to stay clear of carbs and to only eat three meals a day with only snacks with less than hundred calories in between.…

    According to WebMD (2010) weight loss has to do with 80% food, 10% training, and 10% genes. Food has always been a problem for me and my weight loss journey.

I felt as though my body was shutting down and at my heaviest I noticed that my knees were hurting more and more each day.…
