Hi my name is shannon, i am 18 years old. I have always been a chubby girl, ever since i was a child; i've been reminded countless times of taunting stories about being such a chubby baby i ate and drank "adult food" compared to "regular" children - oh well, they missed out. This Story began once i moved from England to Canada in 2003. I was 120 pounds then. As a result, i blew up like a ballon,
Hi my name is shannon, i am 18 years old. I have always been a chubby girl, ever since i was a child; i've been reminded countless times of taunting stories about being such a chubby baby i ate and drank "adult food" compared to "regular" children - oh well, they missed out. This Story began once i moved from England to Canada in 2003. I was 120 pounds then. As a result, i blew up like a ballon, due to all that delcious fast food and can after can of coke i engulfed. Today i weigh 180 pounds. I had previously purchased power 90 and slim in 6 in an effort to get back into shape, which worked out marvelously and i successfully shed 20 pounds immedietly within the first month. However, i quickly lost interest and after 4 weeks i gave up. 2008 had been incredibly rough. Suffering became my only way of coping with the pain life inflicted on me. Insecurity, and lack of self esteem slithered into my already venerable mind and soul and took possessions on my identity. I lived in a state of great fear and continuous fluctuation between states of depression and high anxiety. I was a prisoner of my own mind. I slipped into a deep depression due to my feeling incredibly sorry for myself and other emotional and egotistical matters. Things had gotten so bad to the point of contemplating suicide. After a series of self made dilemmas, i finally hit rock bottom. Everything suddenly became clear to me, i needed a change. I sought help through reading and family and have finally found peace with myself and life. Today i can confidently say that i love life, and have yet to find out more about this mysterious "me." I live by the quote "The Most Important Relationship We Have Is With Ourselves." I no longer resist myself, instead i have accepted the gifts that life has given. Nor do i see myself as the disgusting fat person on the other side of the reflection, but as the beautiful person in the reflection. With a new prespective on life i decided to order P90X, having heard so much great thing about it. My goal is not to loose weight to get attention, look good, fit in to smaller clothing, be a model etc. My goal is to match the mind with the body. I want my body to be as healthy as the mind and soul. After all the body is what protects the true beauty, so why not strengthen it. I have since researched the schedules and guides provided by p90X thoroughly. I am practicing better eating habits and began preparing myself for the first phase of the program. My start date is April 13th 2009. Anyone who would like to join me on this jouney is more than welcome to email me @ shannonwrightburnett@hotmail.com. :D
