No one ever starts their weight loss journey with the intention of quitting. Your heart is in the right place, but your MIND has to be in it as well. I don't like being overweight... No one does, but in order to be successful, you need to be 110% committed to a total lifestyle change. Which apparently in my past attempts, was very clear that wasn't the case. A couple weeks ago I got on the scale and saw a number I never thought I'd see. My first thought was HOW did I let this happen? My second thought was "I need to make a change, and I need to make it NOW." Not next week, not Monday, not tomorrow... Right-effing-now.
I didn't cry, I didn't beat myself up, I didn't throw a fit. I simply knew I'd let my weight go, and that if I wanted to drop the weight it was going to take a serious commitment. A commitment I wasn't willing to make in the past.
I just turned 29 and have been overweight for the majority of my 20's, gaining the most weight over the past few years. I lost 30lbs in the first half of 2012 for my June wedding, then gained it back. I lost 35lbs in the first few months of 2013, then gained it back plus some. It's been a vicious cycle and I'm ready to stop. I have a plan, I have 3 mini-goals, and an overall goal. I know in my mind what I want, how to achieve it, and have been taking action.
I'm putting my health & wellness first. Getting fit is at the top of my to-do list. Take this journey with me, I hope I can inspire you too!
