Hello all!! I am starting yet another weight loss journey. This time is different. This time I'm over 30, married, working a good job. This time I'm not letting every little "slip" devastate me, because this is a lifestyle change. not a temporary fix.
I have been overweight for as far back as my memories will take me. I have been on the smaller side of overweight, and the not-so-smaller side. This past winter was bittersweet for me. I married my best friend. It was the happiest day of my life up until then, and I was at my heaviest weight I had ever been. With the stress of planning a wedding and (at the time) working in a call center, I just didn't have it in me to get fit for the wedding on top of it all. Lucky for me, I didn't feel like I had to either. My friends and family and husband love me no matter what.
But now it's time for ME to love me.
I have been plucking away since February, and have lost about 40 lbs so far ~ which feels amazing, but I still have about 90 lbs to go to get into a healthy weight range.
I'm just putting myself out there and hoping to motivate and be motivated.
Feel free to add me! I can use all the support I can get!!
