Trying Something New

in Introduce Yourself
So I have never been one to share my 'weight loss journey' if that's what you want to call it. It has always just felt sooooooo embarrassing? Shameful to say that the journey is actually needed. Like most, struggled with weight since adolescence and hit a all time high after the birth of my second son, but this time. I am not in it to diet, I am in it for a lifestyle change. I need this. I want to see my babies grow up and have their own babies and although for the most part, I am healthy in the sense of cholesterol, blood sugar, etc., there is still much improvement needed.
I got my eye on my favorite jeans from my first day of college......
This time, with the help and support and motivation for a changed lifetime, I don't plan on ever packing them up.
Unless......I have to give them away for being too big.

    I forced myself to sign up here early this year. I was always super embarrassed to share anything involving my weight issues, cause you know, it's not like anyone could see it ;)
    This has been the most consistent I have ever been and am not dieting anymore, I'm actually eating responsibly because I want to. I've really started to adjust my whole way of thinking regarding food and exercise.
    My advice is to really commit, the first couple of weeks is the toughest, while you get a handle on it, but it really gets so easy and convenient. Having people in the same boat as you makes a huge difference, no one judges, cause we've all been there. I'm shocked how much I really took to the site and really enjoy logging and seeing how everyone else is doing, it's the greatest motivator!
    Feel free to add me as a friend, and I will do my best to offer any support I can.
