Update to healthy/fitness attitude!

At the end of August my membership at the fitness center was over! I was down to 61 kg. and measurements went down to: chest 92cm (w/breasts), waist 71cm and hips 94cm, I'm so proud of myself and it shows, at the center I was the COA (center of attraction) everybody even the fittest thinnest ladies complemented/applauded my accomplishment... Hey when you put in the effort with hard work, consistency and loving what you're doing you can get any result you want. I am the proof of that for myself, and I promised myself I will never be like I was in the beginning of this year.

Healthy Attitude

So much has changed since my last posting. Ive been busy with changing my life around starting with how I feel about myself!

I wasn't supposed to "be", but with the hopes that I might be a boy, with a little persuasion from my dad, my mom agreed to keep me: alas there I was, a third girl. Previous girls were already Nilgun 6 and Nesli 4 years old. Basically what I remember from my childhood is all good memories, I don't remember much of Izmir but after the move to Istanbul I have bits & pieces of mind photos : our summer house in Erenköy the first dog we had that I remember: Ivy was her name black silky short haired beautiful hound... We weren't supposed to let her into the house let alone to our room, but some afternoons while we were supposed to take naps we would open the window, dangle the piano's stool outside and climb down either go play ou...
