The Decision
So I have struggled with my weight for a long time. About ten years now. I haven't done anything about it because when I try I fail. However I have three little ones that need me and need me to run and chase then and be able to be here for a long time. My oldest use to tell me I'm her big fat mommy. As if that didn't sting enough I believe it and see it now. I feel gross and today I am starting my journey to get healthy. I promise you the internet world, myself, my kids, and my husband in six months I will be under 200 pounds. That means in 24 weeks on December 6, 2012 I will at least weigh 199. So I will have to lose 37 pounds to get there. It will be an average 1.5 pounds a week. What a better way to celebrate my 27th birthday than to say I am finally under 200 in over 5 years! WOW! I almost can not believe I am posting online for the world to see but I need some support or at least an outlet to vent when I feeling down. I am posting a picture of a starting point of where I am now and when the final day comes I will post the end result! So here goes world. Any goal even small is a goal! LETS ROCK THIS!!!!
So he I am all 5'2 and 236 lb. me Pant size 24 Shirt size XXL

While I think what you are doing is wonderful, I do wish you were a bit more compassionate with yourself. You didn't acknowledge that you just had a baby and along with that a lot of stress from a new situation. You are a busy mom and this likely contributes to not setting aside enough time to focus on your own needs. It's hard to take time for yourself- it's important but difficult. Weight is a struggle for many of us and the busier our lives get the more intense the stuggle gets. You're not alone- stick with it, know you're worth it- and be KIND to YOU! :)
ReplyDeleteAmy Thank you! You are right I should be. It was kind of just the many thoughts that were all in my head at once. I am now almost 13 weeks postpartum and I should let up a little. The stress sometimes has been unthinkable, but the joy Elinor has brought me has surpassed that 10X. Once again Thank you Amy I do need to be a little kinder. Reminders help!
DeleteWe are in the same boat! I have two children, and I have always struggled with my weight. I'm focusing on 'being healthy' and not on the scale- so far so good. I look forward to following your journey!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Keep up the good work! I got to get another post on here! Maybe tomorrow. Kids and life sure do keep you busy. Still only down 4 pounds put still working at it. It gets hard at times.
