My First Post

MY FIRST POST

 

 

I am starting this blog after a life long journey of struggling with my weight and general struggles with body image.  I don't have any intention besides it being a place where I can be accountable for my actions.

 

My journey started long ago and at this particular point in time, I feel like I have a good diet and exercise plan and a strong desire.  My biggest challenge comes with consistency, my WEEKENDS (which kill me every time), and the constant negative chatter in my head.

 

This will be a place that I have to come everyday to post my progress and be accountable to me......nobody but me.  Really this is like my last ditch effort to really make this happen for me.  Of course I will really never stop trying, but I don't want to wake up and be 50 and still obsessing about the size of my theighs!!!!  That thought kills me, it infuriates me and I will not let it happen.

 

This quote is posted on my mirror in my bathroom, its about time I started and stopped with the yo yo dieting I have been doing.

 

So here it goes, I am going to start today by posting a set of short and long term goals.

 

Short Term

 

1. Post on the blog everyday....EVEN WEEKENDS.

2. Follow my food plan for 30 days....EVEN WEEKENDS!!!

3. Workout at least 5 days a week

 

Long Term

 

1. Fit into a size 8

2. Like what I see in the mirror

3. Be the best ME!!!!  Physically and mentally

4. Lose 50 pounds by September 1st.

5. Be able to wear a pair of shorts

6. Get a healthy relationship with food, if I have a treat learn how to stop at 1 and not let it     ruin all my progress

7. Have healthy be my life style, be my rule not my exception.  Change my way of life!!!!

 

Ok, I think that enough for now.
