1st Week

Well I decided I wanted to start this weight loss years ago...and I'm still starting it. But I feel that this time is my last time saying...Oh, I'm going to lose weight and get where I need to be. I'm for real. I can't really say why...but I just feel different when I say it...more motivated to actually get up and DO something about it! I'm tired of going to stores and seeing clothes that I want to wear but know that I can't because they don't have it in my size...or they have it in my size but it doesn't look right! It's so frustrating! And for some weird reason (and whoever started this I really can't stand) some designers feel like big people like to look like gardens all the time with all of those damn flower prints! Uh...no thank you! Another reason why is that I just want to be healthy. I don't want to have health problems because I'm too overweight or whatever. I'm fortunate not to have any right now...and that's one of the main reasons why I'm going to do something about it so that I don't have any problems...at least weigh-wise anyway. I'm 24 years old and I have at least 130 pounds to lose. That is definitely not a good thing. I really don't know how I got here, but I know that I definitely DO NOT like it here, and I refuse to STAY here. I intend to start using these blogs to motivate myself as well as others go get where they and I need and want to be. Now if any of you are like me...you HATE looking in the mirror! I can't stand it. But I think that you should start. That is one huge way to motivate yourself. Once you get a little bit comfortable with that then take it a step further. Take off your shirt and just look at your body. I call this my "Moment of Reflection." I force myself to stare at my body everyday for a few minutes after my workout sessions and I tell myself that I'm not going to look like this anymore. I'm going to change...and that's what I intend to do. Hope this helps some of you. It definitely has helped me. I started this Monday, and I have already lost 4 pounds. Good luck to everybody and remember...you can do ANYTHING that you put your mind to! :)
