I have obsessed about my weight in some sort of way all my life. I used to write in my journal what I weighed every day.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There definitely was a time when I was pretty obsessed with my weight, but I'm better off not stressing about my body all the time.
I'm probably not 100 pounds anymore, but around there. I definitely got obsessed with my weight. When I met my husband and realized that he could put on 50 pounds and I'd still love him, I realized that's how he sees me or at least how he should!
My weight is something that people seem to talk about a lot.
Weight is something I've battled all my life.
I got on the scale and I weighed around 203. I'm only 5'7. I was about to turn 30, and I wasn't active anymore. So I started working with a nutritionist and a trainer. I played basketball twice a week. And soon it all just became a habit for me. I became addicted to something good for a change.
For many years, I was obsessed about what I was eating, how many calories it had, and how much exercise I'd have to do.
As soon as I made it about being healthy and shifted my focus away from the scale, the weight started to come off. I keep track of my body by how my jeans fit - and how I feel.
My weight has been one of the most challenging things that I've had to deal with throughout my career.
Some of my battles with weight have been very public. But most of them have been internal. Even at my thinnest, when my body was being praised, I wasn't happy with what I saw in the mirror or how I felt about myself.
I don't really weigh myself, but over time - and I'm not crazy about it - but I know how I want to feel in clothes, and it does become addicting, and once you see results, you want to see more.
