This is me right now, and this girl...this large girl is not who I want to see when I look in the mirror anymore. So, 2013 is my year to change some things. Like...my eating habits, my soda addiction, my body, my confidence, my outlook on me. According to that really fun BMI scale, I have 100 lbs. to lose. Yeah. 100. Don't pretend to be shocked. Don't tell me I look great and there isn't 100 lbs of extra weight I am lugging around. I am. It's gross. I hate it. I am to the point where I won't look at anything but my face in the mirror because I just don't want to see it. I don't. It's how I feel about me right now. YES. I just had a baby almost six months ago, but let's not pretend that I wasn't fat before T and Q came along. NO. I am not looking for compliments or people to be shocked. What I need is support. From my friends and my family. I know I have it. I know people want me to succeed because they want me to be happy. This isn't about being vain. It isn't about clothing or a bathing suit or needing to look FABULOUS in a wedding in June (although that motivation does help). This is about me being the best, healthiest wife, mother, friend, sister and daughter I can be! I need this, guys. I don't just want it anymore. I need it.
So, I found this amazing group of people to workout with at a fun place called RightFitt (maybe I should have asked, Caley...sorry, but I hope you don't mind the shameless plug). There are weight loss challenges and fit challenges and classes and lots of info about nutrition and the plan that I hope is going to get me there through Herbalife. I'll be posting a lot about this journey. Join me if you would like! It is always nice to have a support group of friends, old and new.
