A Life Change

When I sit back and look at what I am trying to accomplish with this weight loss…a few things come to mind.

I want to be healthy, obviously and live a long and healthy life.

I want to have children, and, yeah, I guess get married too.

I want to feel beautiful.  I honestly don’t know that I have ever felt that…and I am turning 26 on Friday.  That is pretty sad.

I want to go and buy a gorgeous dress and feel just as gorgeous in it.

I guess I don’t really feel comfortable in my own skin and I don’t really know how to do that.

I know that each day I’m learning something about myself.  I know that each day that I make a healthy choice I feel better about myself.  I know that I can lose this weight.  My goal is to lose 100 pounds.  I’d like to be about 135-137, and I’d like to be there before I graduate…I know that won’t happen because that is only 8 months away.

But, if I can start to put in the effort that my body deserves…I will get there.

Eventually…

    April really IS the best month for bdays! (mine was the 4th!) I definitely empathize with you on this: “I want to feel beautiful. I honestly don’t know that I have ever felt that…and I am turning 26 on Friday. That is pretty sad.” This year I turned 27. I don’t even like my birthday, mainly because it has mostly signified one more year of being overweight and unhappy with myself and my life. I, too, am in the ballpark with losing about 100 lbs. It’s a daunting task and I hope that the 2 of us can achieve it!

    Hilary, I know we both can do it! I love the blogging/twitter weight loss community because they are so supportive!
