After dunking myself in a small pool and exhaling all of my air, I am NOT a fat kid! Woohoo!

17% body fat and being told you're totally solid by an expert. Well that feels damn good after months of feeling like shit.

I am getting super nervous. I've lost over 20 pounds, but I'm still not where I need to be. Thursday is the tell all day. One more opportunity for the city to call me fat ( Read more... )
