Day 1

Options
This is Day 1 for me. For over a year I have been doing the whole “I will start on Monday” or “I will start the first on the month” etc… but this morning I woke up and said enough was enough I am really starting today!!! I looked through Blackberry App World and found this app and thought I would give it a try and even though this is day one I am in love with this program. I love the app for my phone and I love the community support online. I am 27 years old and have gained 20lbs in the four years I have been married. I will never be skinny and don’t really want to be, I have curves and I like them! But I would like to get back to a healthy weight and not grimace every time someone wants to take a picture. I hate that I cannot look at friend’s wedding pictures without thinking how fat I look in them, I am ashamed of myself. I have a desk job and am not that active through the workweek and since I have no children yet I tend to spend my weekends laying around watching DVD’s and Football with my husband, who by the way is no help when it comes to losing weight he is always bringing home candy and treats for me which is sweet but is also making my butt fat. I love food and every time I even start thinking about dieting I tend to eat everything I am trying not to eat. My goal is to break my bad habits and to loose 15lbs. I want to start and maintain a healthy eating and exercise routine without completely depriving myself of all my favorite foods all the time. I look forward to having the support of the online community and hopefully I will be able to provide support for others.

    Thank you so much I already feel the support. I am really excited about having people who understand what it is like to talk to and read about their stories too. I am not sure why I have not done this sooner.
