O.k. so I'm not 20 years old anymore, I'm 32..
O.k. so I can't eat like I used too because I'm not as fit anymore..
O.k. being a mother, wife and full time student keeps me super busy; but I can't make anymore excuses...

Reality Check!!

I need to watch what I eat...
I've got to be more productive...
I've got to start looking out for me.... Because even though my husband says that I'm doing good; he's not the one that exercises for me or makes me eat what I eat....

Sometimes I feel as though I'm never going to make it to my goal.. I've been there and tried so many diets and I always end up failing myself.. But with support from my best friend (Love you Theresa) and my new found friends here on My FItness Pal; I feel super motivated and I can't wait to see the new me in the months to come... I'm setting small goals; not HUGE unrealistic goals.. I want to try and just drop one pant size; fit into a Large size shirt instead of an XLarge shirt.. I want to be able to see just 2 chins instead of 3.. I mean seriously.... Little goals.. And I know that I can do this!!!

Reality Check!!

I gained weight for years; so I need to remember it's going to take time to shed them off....

*WE CAN DO THIS - YES WE CAN!*

    You have taken the first step on your journey to a healthier YOU. Good for you! You can do this. Reality bites sometimes but we can change it and by doing a reality check is the first thing to do in order to make that change happen. When I first started on MFP I entered my weight and found out that I was OBESE. Talk about a reality check. I am proud to say that I am no longer OBESE anymore, I am only overweight, (for now). I am at the halfway point of the overweight class in the BMI. Focus and fun have been there for me, as well as all my MFP friends. In the time that I have been on MFP, just over 3 months I have lost 22 lbs and around 16 inches. I turned 40 this summer and I feel better than ever.

    You can do it!!!!
