Weigh In!

Well, I really hate to do this kind of thing because that means I have to be held accountable... BUT IT'S TIME!  I am 27 years old and I MUST lose weight.  For the following 10 reasons:
1. my health
2. my future kids
3. to wake up withOUT my feet hurting
4. to feel accomplished for mastering this obstacle in my life for the past 20 years
5. to become self-motivated
6. to fly in planes withOUT having to ask for an extender for my seat belt.
7. to stop my procrastination in all areas in my life
8. so I can be as good looking as my husband (lol)
9. so I can go to Fairs and Theme Parks and ride the rides that I most desperately want to, but don't because I'm scared I won't fit
10.  so I can be an effective witness for Jesus Christ, and share with someone things that God wants them to do in their life without thinking, "Why should they listen to me?  I'm overweight and can't do things he wants me to do either."

I know what you are thinking... why did she put all that stuff on here?  Well.. I have to be honest with myself and with you.  These are things that I face all the time. My weight has caused me to have FEAR.  I absolutely LOVE riding rides that make me feel that I'm gonna just fly off in the air and make my stomach jump to my throat.  But I won't ride them because I'm afraid of standing in line for an hour and getting to that moment when I try to squeeze into the seat and realize I don't fit or the seat belt won't buckle.  It's HORRIFYING! My feet are killing me and quite frankly, I'm tired of feeling the way I feel! 

This is me at Easter this year.  It's not a really good weight loss picture to start with, but I NEVER take full body shots.. Sorry!  Lol!  Guess I will have to take one this week and post.  Maybe....


I WILL do this!  A great friend of mine has started going to the gym with me and we are going 3-4 days a week.  We started last week and I feel a lot better already!  I have been counting calories and I am not moving from this part in my life. Our school is starting the biggest loser too, so that will keep me motivated! It's time to get serious and It's time to start now!  Pray that I can make it and keep my confidence!  I will keep you posted!  If some of you are having the same kind of issues I am, a friend told me about a website called lose it and you can track your calories and it will give you a goal date of when to lose your weight!
