Just so you all know, I’m almost 5’8” and weigh 125 lbs. I’ve always been naturally thin, which can be a blessing and cursing. Being raised in the wonderful and sunny state of California, appearance means everything and a girl or woman will kill to be the best – especially in the “beauty and weight” department. I was every girl’s envy for being skinny…cause I looked great. What woman do you see with a size 0 and NATURAL 36D’s?
But when I was around black people like myself, I was ridiculed and tortured. All of these taunts and remarks definitely hurt my self esteem and pride, but I adapted and overcame.
Since I started liking and/or dating outside my race (since Junior High), I don’t feel insecure about my weight anymore. Most guys (White or Latino) like me for who I am and I’m not running around insecure and butt hurt over something I can’t control. Everyone is not meant to be thick or whatever.
I was skin and bones when I came home from the Army. To top it off, I smoked cigarettes like a train, which contributes to not gaining weight. So, since I’ve been home and quit smoking, I gained about 10 pounds, but I still feel skinny and my face is so thin (with my light bulb head…lol!). I won’t EVER get rid of my Rihanna/Tyra head, but a little weight will help.
Well, if you read my last post, I talked about how I met a guy at GNC. He gave me a lot of tips on gaining weight, so I bought a whole bunch of stuff and have been working on this weight thing.
So far, I weigh 127, which is 2 pounds (within 2 days…maybe cause I just ate dinner when I weighed myself), but I need to get my butt at the gym.
Basically, if I take all of the GNC products, but do not work out, I’ll get fat, which is a HELL NO!
My goal is to have my figure look like this….
Still small with a nice size booty. But…not this…..
So, wish me luck, and I’ll post my progress in the next month. This is how I look so far….
