Disney finally pushed me to change.

in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone!

So this is round two of trying to get fit. The first time around was in 2012, where I went from 180 to 157. But then, I slowly started putting on the weight again, then I started working and the area was full of great greasy food that I would eat every day. Right now I am at 191 ish.

Well I got home from Disney World yesterday, and I barely took any pictures. Why? Because I looked horrible. I had never taken such horrible pictures (the few that I did). I missed out on making memories with my son and my husband, because of my size.

I Refuse! I will get back in shape and I will have the confidence again to take pictures, wear what I want, and not be embarrassed anymore!

I am looking for friends and support here, since I want this to be a permanent change of lifestyle!

Thanks for hearing me out!

    Bad photos are one of my biggest motivations... It's like I can look at myself in the mirror and think, "Hmm, okay, not ideal but not so bad!" But then I see the pictures from an event and they're all cringe worthy. At least keep a few for comparison to your excellent and inevitable After photos! You got this :)

    Thanks everyone!

    Oh yeah, I have some really motivational pictures with Mickey Mouse that will be great for comparison later.
