This is me...plump as ever! For a very long time I hid from the camera. I didn't want this body documented in any way, shape or form! Then I read an article about how important it was to be in pictures with your friends and family. This is me now. It's how my kids will remember me if I die tomorrow. Can you imagine how sad they'd be if they didn't have any pictures with me in them? They don't see my fat. They see me as their mom.
I also hid from my facebook friends. Especially the ones from high school. I didn't want them to see I'd gotten fat. But again, I thought this is me now and if someone has a problem with the now me then they can delete me. Good riddance.
Yes, friends, I have gotten fat. It happens. I refuse to make excuses.
I have joined Weight Watchers for the last time in my life. This is it! I'd love for you to follow me on this terrifying journey I'm about to embark on. I joined on Sunday. I joined online. I don't want to go to the meetings. I tried before and all I wanted to do after was eat. It was terrible. I hated them. So online it is for me.
It's freaking hard already. All I think about is food. But I'm really ready for this. I'm NOT doing this to get "skinny". Skinny is gross. I want to be fit. That is all! I don't care what the scale says. I know what size I'd like to get to but the scale won't dictate that.
I want to start running. But first I have to clear it with the foot surgeon. I'll see him next week. Good times!
I'll post the highs and the lows. So follow along as I strive to lose over 100 pounds. Oh and I'm doing this without surgery, pills or stupid hormones. The only pill I'll take is a vitamin.
Cheers!
You're amazing, Tami. You CAN do this, and I'll support you however I can from up here. I need to get more fit as well (and I'm not saying that because I'm pregnant - I knew that before I got pregnant), and you're right, it's so hard. You're an inspiration to me, though, so hopefully I can tag along on your journey and make some changes of my own. Love you.
