Starting my journey.....

Hi everyone,

     I decided to start a blog about my weight loss experiment doing a variety of things. I'm 26 years old and ready to a new me.I will start on Monday, February 14,2011. I know I know,Valentine's Day, but money is tight right now, so we will be staying home this year. 

    I have struggled with my weight my whole life. I'm so tired of losing weight then just gaining it all back. I am finally ready to buckle down and change the way I eat and get my body into shape. The most I have ever weighed was 217 after having my baby. It took me a while, but I was able to get down to 166. That was at the end of 2009. So much happened at the end of that year. I lost both of my grandparents in the same month and looked to food for comfort. And it also didn't help that it was the holiday season too. I ended up going back up to around 190. Being only 5'4 and weighing that much, I just felt like crap. 

    I was so unhappy last summer. It was the first summer that I had to wear a bathing suit since 2003 and it sucked. I looked like a fat pig. This summer, I wanna feel good and not worry about everyone looking at me. I wanna go to the beach and lay out and not worry what people may think. I wanna be able to wear shorts!! Some days I feel so fat and disgusting, I just eat more and more to make me feel better, when all it does is make me feel more like shit!

    So in order me to be successful, I will be doing a variety of things. I will be using a cook book that I will post pictures of, I will be doing XBOX Kinect, taking Alli, walking, and riding bikes. I hope to keep all of this up until July!  I will keep you all posted!!!
