To be quiet honest I have tried everything. And I've been successful with it too. The problem with it has been pretty clear. I never get to my real, true goal. And I always gain back the weight.
I have been overweight for about 2-3 years. I have thought I was overweight since I was 10. The problem has always been, at least for me, is that there isn't just fat and skinny. There is big butts, and different body shapes and size 8 jeans vs size 2 jeans. There is a million different ways to look good or not so good.
I can officially say that I am a size 14 in jeans. Not my proudest moment. In high school I was a size 8 and I thought I was huge. I look back now and realize my vision was skewed. Ironically, I would never have appreciated how I looked then unless I had gained the weight that I have on now.
Gaining weight is easy. You get comfortable. You get busy. Fast food is fast, but it's not healthy. If you want to do things with your friends, you go out to eat. Or you get drinks. All of which are very unhealthy. I have tried everything I can think of to attempt to get my body back into fighting shape. I want to wear jeans and a t-shirt and feel sexy again. I want to stand next to my friend and take a photo and not have to crop it.
My doctor told me that losing weight now is something I need to do to help me with a couple of health issues in my life. I've been having back problems for months and they found a herniated disc. Weight loss in combination with physical therapy and epidural steroid injections is supposed to do the trick... So I've decided to go for it. I'll give you updates on how I'm doing it, what I'm doing and how it's helping.
I will post pictures of progress and give recipes and plans along with how I got through cravings.
My hope with this blog is to get readers that are counting on me, watching me, rooting for me. I have let myself down over and over again. But maybe if you're here helping me get there, we can do it together.
So now I begin...
Wish me luck?
Ready. Go.
