My name is Victoria. I'm 32 years old and live in Mexico city. I'm also overweight. To be totally honest, I'm more than overweight. I'm 5'3 (160 cm) and weigh 251 pounds (114 kg). That means that my BMI is 44.5. In other words,
I'm O-b-e-s-e.
I have battled my weight and my own body since I can recall. I went on diet for the first time when I was 13. I started to pay weekly visits to "clinicas TEO", where I was measured, weighed and given my "personalized" diet for the week, along with some pills. Don't worry, I almost never took the pills. The "funny" thing about all this is that it was a birthday present.
The result of months of dieting was that, at the end of the school year, I was given praise for how amazing I looked by my family, teachers and even my classmates mothers. I had not gotten my first period yet (it took some more months) but I already knew how I was supposed to look. I also knew that it was hard to look like that.
A lot has changed since then, but I'll write about that in future posts. For now let's just say:
My name is Victoria. I'm 32 years old. I'm really fat. This is my journey to change my body. I'm no expert and I don't pretend to be. I'm just trying to loose weight.
Current weight: 251 pounds.
Current BMI: 44.5
