Important questions for a weightloss journey

1.      Why do you want to lose weight?

I want to lose weight so I can feel like myself. Right now, I feel like a 120lb Black girl with big hair and a fashion sense that could rival Anne Wintour. In reality, I am a 294 lb Black girl with a short curly afro who wears t-shirts and jeans. I also want to be healthy, be happy, and not afraid to go on an airplane or amusement park rides and worry I will not fit. I just want to be normal and have skinny girl problems for once. I want to lose weight because I do not want people staring at this double chin or belly anymore. I want to lose weight to be myself.
