My name is Sara. I'm Canadian-born, living the American dream. I'm a libertarian, good samaritan, open-minded and sharp. I'm non-verbal, but articulate. Empathetic, inquisitive, but only slightly observant. Introspective, retrospective, creative and discreet. I'm pro-choice, pro-equality, pro-tolerance, and pro-women's curling. I like movies made for kids and books made for seniors. I like ancient art and modern furniture. I like animals, but wouldn't pose nude PETA if they paid me in puppies. I'm a trial-period wannabe vegetarian and a full-time committed homosexual.
I'm 19 boarderlining on 20, and in the next three years it will take me to grow up I want to make myself into a radiological technichian - particularly in the neuroradiology department (though mammography would be sweet) - and move on to sonography. I want to lose weight because in the health-care field, brains and wit can only carry you so far if you're unhealthy yourself. (Fitting into a size 6 wedding dress would be a dealmaker, too).
Two years ago I flirted with the 200lbs mark (around 185-195). It wasn't until my long-time girlfriend told me she wanted me to be around for our children's wedding, should we ever have any, that I started to pre-contemplate about becoming a healthier, happier person. I made small changes to my daily routine, and as of October 23rd, 2009, my starting weight was 167. Now I feel it's time to become serious about my weight-loss and health-improving goals, and to seriously track the energy I'm consuming versus the energy I'm exerting. To eat healthier, and to live longer. It's not about what the scale says, it's about what your mirror and body say.
Goodbye chub, hello grub.
