For the past 8 years I have been overweight. And I am now at the largest that I have ever been. I currently weigh 245lbs and wear a size 20. Even in my size 20's the clothes are beginning to fit tight.
The Skinny
When I was a teenager I was in great shape, weighing 115lbs and wearing a size 5. What is so insane is that back then I thought I was fat! When high school ended, I began working in an office job and I stopped all physical activity. Then as the food was piling in my mouth, the weight was piling on. But I have always had a strong level of confidence. The weight never seemed to bother me, I always thought I was a beautiful person no matter what. Because of this ignorance I was blinded to how much I've been damaging my health.
It's Time
So I have decided to make a change but this is not a New Years Resolution and this is not an attempt to be thin for my boyfriend, this is a change inspired by my little sister who came to me and asked for us to do this together. This is a necessary change to lead a better, healthier lifestyle and to support and be a good example for those who are struggling with the same issues as me.
My Commitments:
- Exercise! I am committing to 5 days of exercise every week. 2 days at the gym and 3 days of karate.
- Eating Right! With the use of Weight Watchers I will be monitoring my food and making healthier choices.
- Accountability! By blogging, keeping a diary, and weighing in weekly I will hold myself accountable for my commitments.
So follow me on my journey! My goal weight is 135! That's 103lbs! It's going to be a tough journey and all the support I can get will help me get there.
