I Lost 100 Pounds at my 15 | Music&Dancing Helps

Hi there! I'm Laura.
This is my story about how I lost 100 pounds at 15. Although, this is mostly a story about goals and boosts.
I’ve always been plump. Maybe because of our family’s eating habits.
So, every evening, we always drink several cups of sweet tea with tasty sesame cookies. Anyway, we’re lovers of pastry and sweets.
And everything’s bad with active life in our family. Nobody likes to bother about physical activities. So, even on weekends, we would like to eat have a full meal rather than to ride the bicycle or walk, for example.
No surprise that not only me, but also my parents and my older brother are well-fed. It would be very strange if, against their background, I would be slim and on a healthy diet.
My extra weight never brought me any trouble. I grew up with him. So, I got used to it. “Well, let me be plump,” I thought, “we have half the country of plump people.”
I was so used to being overweight that I didn’t even know what it was like to live in a slim and healthy body without extra weight.
Fortunately enough, I have an adequate surrounding. And they have never laughed at me. Maybe because I have creative friends. I’m a musician, so, my friends are mostly musicians.
But I will lie if I say that no one in my family has ever tried to lose weight. Everyone tried it, but the maximum diet lasted only one day.
"And so I lived in a fat body until I was 15.
Frankly speaking, by that time, something very important happened in my life. For a year and a half, I was in love with the lead singer of a famous music group."
Yes, I was his biggest fan. All the walls in my room were covered with his posters. And I wanted to get to his concert.
Since I myself deal with music, once at a youth concert, my dream came true. He came to support the rising stars... with his group.
I couldn’t believe it! Here he was - real and as close to me as I couldn’t even imagine.
After his performance, my idol signed autographs to his fans and answered their questions. I stood still: I couldn’t approach him. So, I watched everything from the side.
When the object of my dreams went to the dressing room, I decided this was the last and the only chance to talk to him. I always wanted this anyway.
I was lucky. He was glad to meet me. He even praised my voice, saying I had a certain talent, and in the future, I could become a famous singer. I was damn pleased that he singled me out among dozens of performers.
And then, I don’t know why, I decided to tell him about my feelings.
My idol smiled and said something that hurt me to the core. And this changed my life. He said: “Hey, girl, look at yourself. Your weight’s about 200 pounds. No, of course, you’re very cute and gifted. But sorry, with such a weight, you can’t count on anything. If you lost some weight...”
I stopped listening to him. In tears, I ran out of the dressing room and locked myself in the toilet. I cried there until the end of the concert.
The next day, I was still trying to digest what had happened the day before and find a logical explanation for such a dirty action.
How I felt? It seemed to me a bucket of slop was poured on me. My self-esteem simply got down to a minus 200 level. I hated myself. I hated him. I hated the whole world. I wanted it to be just a dream.
But then, I scraped my thoughts together. And I thought that by endlessly feeling sorry for myself, I wouldn't stop being fat. I took an oath to lose weight, no matter what it cost me. First of all, to lose weight and prove myself I still could do something.
Frankly speaking, after what happened, I had no appetite for some time. Perhaps, you’re familiar with this state when, because of stress, even water makes you sick?
So, what I did first? First, I stopped eating. I bought a separate mini-fridge for myself. I decided to eat separately from the other family members. So, I wouldn’t have temptations.
I viewed thousands of sites and blogs about the right nutrition. I quickly understood its principles and started to follow them. It turned out easier than I thought.
Apart from nutrition, I had to start doing some activity. I was afraid of any kinds of sports. So, I found the only option for me - dancing. I danced at home to my favorite music when I had free time.
Every day, I monitored my weight in the morning and in the evening. I kept a weight loss diary. And a month later, summing up, I saw a 16 pound loss. "Yeah, I can do it! I can lose weight!" I cried out with joy.
I won’t torture you with stories about my path to an ideal body. I will say one thing: in a year, I lost 102 pounds. My body became my pride. I realized that I was quite nice. Only my beauty was hidden under a thick layer of fat.
