So, let's see if I actually post this and not write it all up and delete it I have a tendency to do.
I'm Curiouser, I'm 24 and I've struggled with my weight all my life. Its always been the "elephant in the room" senario with me. It's quite obvious that I was a bigger girl, but I never wanted to talk about it with other people. I was afraid that if I talked about it, everyone else would become aware of just how overweight I was. I wanted them to think I was a size 10, not a size 14. And really, I probably over exaggerate it in my mind, but sometimes I see myself in a window and am shocked at how lumpy my body is.
Anyway, both SO and I have put on weight since we started dating and eventually moved in together. We both have drawers of clothes we no longer fit into and it depresses us, so together we have decided to eat healthier, smaller portions, and exercise. Yesterday was Day 1 of better eating, and although we didn't exercise I'm taking everything in baby steps.
I tend to get de-motivated really quickly with weight loss programs. I have a hard time staying motivated and, let's face it, I love food too much. I want to be able to live a life where I can eat heathfully, lose weight, but not deprive myself of the things I want, when I really want them.
My first goal is to get down to the size I was when I first started dating SO by my next birthday. So, 25 by 25. After that, I'll tackle my next goal. But I want to get to that one first.
I'm excited about being part of the WISH community, and since I come here for my Disney fix, hopefully the accountablity and motivation will be something I can't avoid!!
