Weight LossWhere did I go...
By: Jolie Gonzalez - Padilla Where did I go? I looked in the mirror every day, and there she was, this stranger that was always staring back at me, she looked a little like me – in a distorted way, but it wasn't me, of that I was sure of. I never questioned who she was, or why she was there, or how long she intended to stay--- I just let her stay. The longer she stayed, the further away I felt, until one day –I realized that she was more real than I was! I had been gone for years before I suddenly began to snap out of it, every morning when I saw her staring back at me, it made me mad! I began to get angry, she had been here long enough, it was time for her to go. I was sick of missing me… and sick of not being able to wear my nice cloths, sick of her getting bigger and bigger, and sick of me being gone. It had been years since I recognized myself in that mirror, but this time I was determined to change that. It’s been a little over 6 months since I made that decision and in that time I managed to lose 44 Lbs., I still can’t recognize myself but at least now I know that I will be back soon.
