woah, MAC hello kitty. oh so sparkly.

HI. my name is randi. yes, it is a girl's name sometimes. i'm 23, in college, and i work part time. i enjoy going out for drinks, watching a good documentary film/TV show, and browsing for stuff on ebay i'll probably never buy. oh, did i mention i'm fat? overweight. thick. chubby. whatever you wanna call it.

i've usually always been this size. i say usually because there were two periods of time when i wasn't a chubbo. the first was when i was around 11 or 12, and i was actively playing travel softball--so i stayed working out regularly, while weighing around 160. after quitting sports in 8th grade, i gained almost 30 lbs. after i graduated high school, i somehow dropped close to 40 lbs, and weighed around 180 when i started working at a retail job in the mall. after switching jobs a few times, i finally ended up finding one i liked and became accustomed to eating very unhealthy during lunch breaks. this is where my "fast food" addiction all began. every day it was something new, and i actually looked forward to getting my daily dose of grease each day.

now, a year later, i dont eat as horribly but i'm definitely still paying the price. i crave fatty foods constantly and physical activity is pretty much non existant. all of my "habits" are just that--habits. whether it be physical, dietary, or sleeping, i don't get the correct amount i need to feel healthy.

SO, with all of that said, here i am posting in this blog. as vania mentioned, we came up with the idea to create a blog together. the number 180 is significant for two reasons. first, it's our GOAL weight. while ultimately we know that a number shouldn't determine how you feel about yourself, we both agreed that 180 is the weight we'd most feel comfortable and would like to be at. secondly, 180 not only represents the goal weight but it also stands for a full circle, as it is in geometrical terms.

anyway, it's late, and this is super long (sorry) thanks for sticking with me if you did. i might actually come back and edit, haha.

goodnight!
