New Day...New Me

Okay, okay I have said it many times before but today is the day.

Over the past couple of months I have lost 20 pounds and 2 pants sizes. I am so proud of the weight loss that I have now sold all my "big clothes" and have decided to continue working at losing more weight. I tried on some clothes yesterday that I haven't been able to wear in years and it felt so good to fit into them again. I wondered why I ever gained all the weight and why I never really wanted to lose it before. I have no answers to that other than I love to eat. And boy do I eat.  My diets were always like this:



Crazy as it seems but that was true. I always wanted to eat and I would eat and eat and eat. Well things change and people change.

Love will do crazy things to you and make you do crazy things. I fell in love. Decided to lose a little weight and boy did I. My friend at work told me I needed to get some smaller clothes because what I was wearing made me look frumpy--just what I wanted to hear. Well all good things must come to an end and my love life was put on hold. Well actually I still love him and am waiting on him for a while but long story short...I've decided to keep on losing the weight.

My thoughts are...I'm happy and I would love to be skinny for once in my life. I have always said "If you can't love me when I'm fat, you sure as hell can't love me when I finally get skinny." Thank goodness that was not the case here. He loved me for who I was and what I was not how I looked on the outside.

I am going on a weight loss journey to make myself even happier with or without him.  So now it is confession time:
      Beginning Weight: 260.2 lbs
      Short Term Goal Weight: 200 lbs
      Long Term Goal Weight: 150 lbs
Yes I know that is a huge goal and I plan on accomplishing it. It is going to take lots of hard work and a miracle.

I will keep this blog updated each week with weekly weigh-ins. I will post funny stories or motivational quotes throughout the week.
