Well okay. Im Patra, married mom of 2, plus size shopper since 6th grade. But I was always the smaller one in the family. Not small but the smaller one. Back in May I got tagged in a Facebook picture that nearly killed me. I was shocked that it was me. I realized that smaller was all in my head. So I decided to do something about it. I worked so hard over the summer and through the middle of November I lost 72 lbs. Then Thanksgiving hit. I gained back 12 lbs since Thanksgiving morning. I was doing so good! Denying myself was easy because I wasnt "denying myself" I was "working towards my goal" but now... its hard! I need a kick start (right in my butt).
Ive lurked here off and on over the summer but decided this morning (after a day of doing great and a dinner with an extra helping of sabotage) that I would take the plunge and go for it. I pulled out some pictures of before and during to motivate me. I Goodwilled all my "Fatter Clothes" and theres no turning back.
Hi Everyone!
