Nothing new or original about this post. I guess I've been a chronic off-and-on participant over the last few years. But this time now that I am "on" again... its for a very different reason.
Myself
I've never worked out or ate healthy or lost weight for myself. So this is what is different this time around. For 4yrs, I was in a very abusive relationship with someone who used to leave a list of rules for me on the fridge door of things I couldn't have, or how much of something was acceptable. He used to look at my food & exercise log from the day while he was at work to give his approval or disappointment. Finally, the week of my 23rd birthday, I found a strength I didnt know I possessed, packed all of my things and left.
I have been free of him for a year and a half... and have maintained my weight through the entire healing process. BUT. I am still not where I want to be. My life has done a complete 180 and I am happy and blessed. But I was recently asked to be a bridesmaid in a wedding. I realized... I am the fattest (and only single) one in the party. After a few Captain and Diets... I realized. This isn't new! But I'm grateful for the opportunity of having a finite deadline of when I want my goal achieved.
1st mini goal: 20lbs gone by June 2nd
Ultimate goal: 40lbs gone by Nov 10th.
Ready? Set? GO!
You ladies have always been fantastic cheerleaders in the past- so excited to be back!
I'm baaaaack! "For me this time"
