Here is the deal. I by no means think that I am 'fat'. I know that I have my own insecurities, as we all do. The things that bother me about myself might not be something that would bother someone else. But I'm not someone else. I am me, and often times, I am not comfortable in my own skin.
The real question is... even if I achieve my goals... will I be happy there? When I first started on my weight loss journey almost 18 months ago (wow!) I had only wanted to reach 150.
I hit that, and wanted to go for more. I wanted to reach 140.
I hit that too. I didn't really set another goal after 140, but for the last 6 months or so I have been tettering around the 130-135 range.
Ever since we moved, I have lost my routine. I feel the winter fluff, and it's making. me. crazy.
So it's 'only a few pounds'. But that is where it starts people!! I weighed in this morning at... oh lordy... (138). Yes, I made it small for a reason, lol. That is a painful number for me after how hard I worked and knowing I have recently been down to as low as 130.
Fact is, I have gotten lazy. I have been stressed out. I have been eating things I know I shouldn't, and more than I need. I am hoping that by posting all of this for the world to see, two things will be accomplished.
1. It will keep me motivated to be able to actually show/see progress as I get back to my routine.
2. It will help anyone else who feels as though they have been slipping up to get back on track.
Staying with a diet is impossible for me. I need to eat what I want. If I don't, I will binge eat. That said, I was using simple portion control. Allowing myself a moderate amount of the things I crave to curb the craving and eliminating the chance of binge eating. So with the portion control, comes a serious workout routine. I have not tried P90X, but maybe I should :) I personally like GOING to a gym. I see people there with better bodies than me, and it pushes me harder. I know for some people, its the opposite.
So... after this, there will be no more chance of humility. It will all be out there, and all I can do is work my ass off to be able to post some awesome after pictures.
Here goes nothin...


Sorry the text came out so small in some. Well... not really, lol. So there they are! Just for reference... the next picture is what I would die for!!
OMG!! Carrie Underwoods legs are UH-mazing! Seriously. I was drooling last night watching Idol. Her legs are phenomenal, and I would love to be able to achieve that kind of change! I'm not holding my breath though ;)Are you planning a full body overhaul for Summer?
