I feel like just the other day 268 was staring back at me, and I am so thankful I finally did something about my weight. Before I took control of my eating, I was eating like whole batches of cookie dough close to 2x a month, I didn't even look at calories, and I watched as my Mom went out of the house to get in a workout. I'd just say no thanks and stay back being lazy. It wasn't like "Oh no, why am I not losing weight". I wasn't even trying. I wasn't even trying to maintain, I was just hoping (while doing opposite things) that I wouldn't gain. All I could think about at Christmas, when I started my journey, was that I hated how I looked in pictures. My pictures were finally matching up to my number, and I hated it. Also, I could tell that if I didn't do something soon, I'd be 300 pounds in my 20s. So, that all said, I'm very glad I turned my life around. Nothing is worth being unhappy. Take control today, and put the work in on yourself.
I started this blog in 2011, to record my weight loss journey, & to hold myself accountable. Specifically, I began my journey Dec. 26th 2011. I'm 22 years old, female, 5'4, and to date have lost 44 pounds. This year, I have made incredible leaps and bounds in my journey and I LOVE the blogging community. My followers are crazy smart & super creative! I steal a lot of my good ideas from them ;) Hope through my posts, y'all are able to steal a few also. Thanks for stopping by!

Showing Skin!! Whoa now!
Totally inspired by Emilio's Progress Pics, I wanted to show where I'm at in the scheme of things. This isn't me from the start, but this is a view of me in my first pair of jeans in a new size (size 20)!!! I was so excited. I feel hott again, just honestly haha. Now ready to bust into a size 18! I've really been working hard at eating right, and I had a great week of workouts last week..this week not so much haha. I got on the scale today, and lost another pound!! So 239!!! 29 pounds lost!!

ReplyDeleteYou've totally made me think back to how I was before. I was just the same "I hope I don't gain" but wasn't doing anything to stop that from happening...it just makes you realise how far we've all come.
And just think how different this Christmas will be!!! :)
Haha I know! I normally can't wait for Christmas anyways, but I'm digging the extra "specialness" of this Christmas!
