Good Lord!! It's me.

Why am I doing this?
I started this blog out of the need for documenting my journey to health. I am 37. I know I am never going to wear a bikini again, but I just want to be healthy again. I am tired of feeling shame for looking the way I do. Also i have this fantasy of walking into any store and buying something off the rack. But I am not just going to sit back and boo-hoo. I need to get off my hump and do something about it.
The title came about when I was walking past a store front window once not too long ago and for some reason, my mind didn't register that I was seeing my own reflection in the window. I immediately went to "who is that fat girl following me?" Then it hit me. That fat girl was and is me. Yikes. Time to make a few changes.
Feel free to follow along and comment as you like. But please remember that I am in a really vulnerable position letting you guys follow my ups and downs with this . So if you feel the need to leave nasty comments, please save them. Call me hyper sensitive, but I am trying to be positive about this experience, not invite drama.
Thanks for coming along for the ride!

Sent you an email about the daily emails from Hungry Girl.
ReplyDeleteIt is that fantastic, isn't it?
Here's a chart showing a persons weight loss over 6 months. Look at the daily fluxuations. Really take some time and check it out. Look how it goes up and down 4 pounds over a day or two. It's madness to judge success over daily or even weekly increments.
ReplyDeleteBut. Look at the 6 month chart. Look how drastic it is.
Keep weighing in, but never get discouraged. If you are working your ass off you will, quite literally, work your ass off.
Stay strong, stay awesome.

Love your postings Jaqui. I just started Zumba myself last week...my hips just don't go very fast and I look like a dork, but so do all the other non-latinas in the room. I too love deep fried cheese sticks and how about jalepeno poppers...oooo. Keep up the good work, I love seeing your progress.
