So...really, howe the hell did I get here? Almost 6 years ago, I had lost an amazing amount of weight, was down to a size 14 (from a 22) and felt great! I was eating right, swimming and heading in the right direction. I met a wonderful man (Brian) and we ultimately got married.
But, where did the weight come from? Was it the relationship "freshmen 15"? Or, was I just eating too much? It was a combination of things. I have a thyroid that doesn't work, was working excessively, not eating right AND I had several major health issues that just packed on the weight. But where, do you cast the blame?
I believe we have to take responsibility for ourselves. I could easily blame the doctors, my health, my schedule...but it's MY RESPONSIBILITY. I control what items move from my plate to my mouth and how much goes in.
So, that is how I got there. By eating, and not eating the right things.
So, I'm commiting to change. I'm going to be fit, fabulous and flirty...for my 40ith birthday. I have 14 months. I will make it!
I will be blogging my progress, my thoughts...
Tomorrow's focus will be the cost of getting fit...or not.
Sounds like a great plan that we all know you CAN and WILL accomplish !

ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you. We are in this together for the long haul. The Belly fat Cure worked a while for us, now I'm doing Atkins. But I believe whatever we do is great as long as we DO something! We need to stay off that river called De Nile.....love, hugs and kisses,
