The future, think ahead

By Natalie M.
from St. Petersburg, Florida

Although I was never "obese" or extremely overweight, I had always had a problem with myself and thought I was on the heavier side. All my friends were complete TWIGS and could eat whatever they wanted as I looked on in envy.

After a couple hard times in my life, my Mom suggested I watch The Secret. At first I was truly unconvinced and mad she would even bring me upon such a theory. I began to realize it may have been true. I believed I could eat whatever I wanted and lose weigh before my junior year of high school started.

That summer I literally ate McDonalds almost every day, and I became discouraged when I saw no results. My self-esteem was low and my goals blurred. I kept on believing, and it fell off. I am a true believer. I am positive. I look forward to the future. Someday I hope to be a motivational speaker or author. Maybe both. Look for me! :)
