Back on the Weight Loss Bandwagon

After going through a week of someone calling me "thick" jokingly and another person inadvertently saying once you have a child your life is over, I finally decided I was going to do something to improve my low self esteem. I totally disagree with the the latter comment but I know I could improve my self-image by feeling good about my weight. It's not like I don't need to lose weight or I would be going beyond what I do- in fact I need this to improve my back problems and to get to what my ideal weight should be for my age and height.

So my goal is to get from 180lbs to 140lbs by my birthday (June 23rd~wink) next year. I think this is a relatively good and achievable goal to have considering that is about 8 months away and I would be able to wear some cute new clothes for my b-day :)


So I'm excited with that goal. I think I'm going to take a picture of my love handles and post them on my exercise bike for motivation.

I started back on Calorie Counter and I think this could be a good thing to track and for motivation for others who keep desiring to lose weight but can never encourage theirselves enough to actually get it done while the Reese Cups beckon so sweetly.

So, I will log my foods and findings later tonight and get this thing on the road!

Good luck to anyone who is starting this venture with me. Let's encourage each other!

-Love, Daph
