Weight Loss Blog

The Weight Loss Blog offers news and information about nutrition and fitness as well as actual weight loss success stories as told by students at Wellspring Academies, formerly Academy of the Sierras, the first boarding school for overweight teens. WSA is part of Wellspring, which also runs Wellspring weight loss camps.

The Blog started with entries by 15-year-old Jahcobie who graduated from WSA after losing 176 pounds in seven months. Then Brooke, a 17-year-old from Prescott, Arizona, took over. Our latest student blogger was Melissa, a 17-year-old from Orange County, California. Melissa recently graduated and we wish her success and she continues down her path as a "long-term weight controller."

Andy D. a 17-year-old student at Wellspring Academy spent a few months sharing his adventures in weight loss, healthy eating, and fitness fun with us before he graduated the program in June.

Now we'll continue to update you with news and information about weight lose, healthy living, and childhood obesity. We'll have a new WSA student share their stories with us beginning in the Fall.

Wellspring programs are the most effective weight loss solutions for teens available today. But don't let us tell you. Let Andy, Melissa, Brooke, and Jahcobie tell you. Read about their journeys toward successful weight management in their own words.

Being the Person You Want to Be

Today's topic is signs. I was sitting in group and a bird kept slamming in to the window trying to come in and that got me wondering. Of course it wasn't a sign for me to analyze, but the kind of person I am I did anyways. I figured out that I'm not fully letting myself be the person I want to be. I know that it will take a long time to allow myself to fully accept the new person I am but that is ok. So I figure that I need to re-evaluate my priorities once again and figure out what I need to get out of my last month at Academy of the Sierras. It's funny looking back on how far I've come and thinking about the person I have become. I love saying how much I love myself to myself. It's taken a long time to get to that point where I can say it and forever I will treasure it. It's so weird the kind of things I can rationalize about myself and really accept.

So I was listening to a song called "No More Drama" and I remember when I use to eat to the beat of the song. It's so sad and it makes me sad that I got to that point but I choose to have no more times of that unless I'm eating celery. LOL! I forgot to tell you all about how I made back up with my friend. So it turns out that she wasn't taking his side but she just was giving me the advice she thought I would give her. I threw the red flag down and told her that she needs to start doing her program because I love her too much to see her go down like that. I refuse to let myself or anyone I love suffer!
