3rd Time's a Charm... right?!

Hey all,

My name is Jessica, and I've been at this for a while now. I guess I really wasn't ready to put in the effort to get my life back on track... considering I have failed a couple of times in the process. But, I think I needed to fail to really realize that I need to get my life back in order. I am about 100 pounds overweight, and I think I am finally so tired of looking in the mirror that I can actually do something about it, and stick with it. I know it's going to be tough, as I have tried this before.

But this time is different. Why?

Because instead of wanting to look sexier for my long time boyfriend like before, I want to look sexier for my Fiance now (:

That's right, my long-time boyfriend of over 6 years proposed to me this December on our 6 year anniversary. We're not going to get married until the Fall of 2013, but still, I want to be myself again by the time my big day comes. I still am the girl that he fell in love with all that time ago in highschool, but I want to look like her again too.

And I want to do this for myself. I want my self-esteem back, and I want to be able to shop in any store I want, and not have to worry if they have a plus size section. And I want to stay at hotels or go places in the summer without having to "conveniently" forget my swimming suit because I wouldn't be caught dead in one. I want to be healthy to have kids, and to really enjoy my 20's. I will be 23 in may, and that is prime time to be staying out late, going to clubs, and really living it up. I feel like I can't do that because I'm overweight.

So yeah, that's my journey. I know it's going to be a long one, but I am excited to start this new chapter, finish school, get married, and get my life back.

So be my friend, my support, and I can be yours also! Let's not do this alone!

I AM READY!!! (:
