A daily struggle

So my family is doing a biggest loser competition and there are about 18 of us.  I was soo excited for us to all do this together and I still am.

I find myself reaching a point where I am soo completely excited and pumped but then I don't do anything.  I want soo much to lose the weight that I have gained since I got married but until I can see myself as a person who deserves to be healthy, I don't think it's going to happen. 

I have never been one to finish things in my life.  I have been in modeling but quit that and told my parents I was bored.  Not true at all!  I missed  a class and I had to make it up by going to another class with people I didn't know.  I was soo scared that I decided it was easier to just not go anymore.  I played the trumpet in 6th grade and had soo much fun!  My mom and her husband at the time decided to move us once again and I decided not to play the trumpet anymore because I was gonna have to play with people I didn't know.  Again, I was afraid of what people would think of me and then gave up.  I ran for class secretary my senior year and so I wrote a speech but of course it wasn't me and it was just enough to hopefully have a chance at winning.  Had I wrote from my heart, I could have won but I was soo afraid of writing the speech that I gave up once again.

I have such a fear of failing that I always fail!  How do I get over this?  How do I make myself see that I am worth fighting for?  I struggle with this everyday.  Everyday I get up and decide I am going to work hard and then one thing doesn't work for me and I give up! 

I know that this isn't how God made me!  I know he doesn't see me as a failure.  He loves me the same today as he did yesterday.  He loves me the same as he did when I was in 3rd grade and gave up on modeling.

I want so bad to be pretty.  I don't feel pretty and the only time I ever felt beautiful was on my wedding day.  How do I get back to that point again?  I always seem to find something as an excuse and I don't know how to move past this.
