Hello Ladies!
I am a 30 year old married gal with a 3 year old son. When I first met my husband, I was 180lbs (I'm 5'8). I weighed 235 lbs when I gave birth to our son in 2009. Welp, here we are in 2013 and I let my weight get back up to 238....and I'm not pregnant.
The pivotal changing point for me was when someone texted me a photo of myself from 6 years ago....pre-husband/kid.... I looked so happy, so confident and so much healthier. I decided at that exact moment that I wanted to find that girl again. I want to take off this fat suit for good and never look back. I want to make healthier choices and regain my confidence.
I use to walk into a room with my shoulders held back and smile on my face. Now, I find myself cowering and trying to blend in with the crowd. I dread summertime because my breasts are waaaay beyond F's and any summery shirt draws disgusting attention from gross dudes. I have to special order bras online and I have to shop at plus size stores.
I'm sick of justifying fast food purchases from the dollar menu "because I only spent $2 on lunch, so it's ok." I'm sick of not feeling pretty. Most of all, I'm sick of the depression that comes with not being healthy.
So, my journey started 4 weeks ago and I am down 15lbs. I am doing a gluten free diet. I only drink water...nothing else, and lots of it. Eliminating soda was so difficult, but I'm so glad that all of those artificial sweeteners are out of my system.
I hope there are some of you that are similar to me! I'd love to find a motivational buddy!
I WILL get down to 150 lbs!!!!
