Hi ladies!
I'm super pumped to be on team green! I figured I'd introduce myslef before weighing tomorrow.
Technically I'm no longer a SAHM, I retunred to work after a yearlong maternity leave but in my heart I am still at home with my boy. He's going to be one in 2 days. I'm 26, married and super motivated to lose weight! I've struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. Food is my vice, my comfort when I'm sad, my reward when I've accomplished something and my entertainment when I'm bored. When I read that back to myself it's not hard to see why I am so big. LOL!
When I was pregnant it was easy to make the right choices. I did it without thinking. Because I was doing it for my little unborn baby. Then my son was born and all the bad habits came back. Then, as he pregoressed to finger foods I became very discenring about what I'd give him. I didn't want him to develop the bad eating habits I had. Then one say, about 2 months ago, it occured to me that he will learn from the example set by his father and I. And we were both horrible eaters and couch potatoes. It was a hard realization because I felt like I was setting my son up for failure. So that day I committed to changing. A week late rmy husband joined me.
I'll be honest, I've started and failed more diets then I can care to think about. What I am doing is not a diet. It is a lifestlye change built upon solid nutrition and keeping active. Is weight loss a goal? ABSOLUTELY! I want to weigh less, fit into smaller clothes, and in general look and feel better than I currently do. But it's also about so much more than that. This started as something that I would do for my son, so he would have a good example. But now it;s for me. I'm done feeling ashamed of my size. I'm sick of being embarrassed by how I look. When I started this I weighed 261lbs. At 5'5" that is pretty unattractive. as of my last offical weigh in I was down 18.5 lbs. I'm excited ofr my weigh in tomorrow and I hope to report a further loss. My goal right now is to shift my BMI from the 'obese' categoryinto the 'overweight' category. LOL! That sounds crazy to say I want to be overweight! But I laothe being defined by the word 'obese'. It makes me cringe. So that's my first goal and I need to lose about 60ish lbs to do that. Once I've reached that goal I'll reassess and set some new goals.
I'm super pumped to be surrounded by so many other women that are on the same path as me. I want to be a support person for each and every one of you so if you are ever in need of a virtual pick me up, feel free to add me as a friend and I will be there to remind you to stay strong.
Can't wait for the challenge to begin tomorrow! Go Team Green!!
