Well hello world!!
MrsDieter34 here, getting ready to embark on a journey that has proven to be quite difficult to the vast majority. What is this journey, you ask? It's the scary, dredded, horrifying path to ................. WEIGHT LOSS!!! **SCREAMS**
Ok, ok, it's not that scary, but it is a tough path to follow. Personally, I've had a bumpy ride down this road, as you can clearly gather from the title of this blog. Over the years, I have allowed my weight to spiral out of control. WELL NO MORE!! I have decided to dedicate myself to getting my control back and I'm taking you with me. I will be documenting the entire process of my journey with all of you and hopefully the revelations I discover will help and/or inspire you to do the same. Why share this with you, you ask? Because you are not alone, neither am I and together we can accomplish anything!! However, if you are not in need of support or weight loss, then perhaps my journey will, at least, be entertaining to you.
So, let's start with the basics, shall we? First of all, who am I? Well, I'm a 34yr old mother of three beautiful children. I'm a newlywed (Aug 20, 2011...yaaay!!), married to the most wonderful man in the world. I'm friendly and silly and sensitive at times, but something I've never really been is an exerciser. I mean, I was active in my teen years, playing softball and cheerleading, but outside of that, nothing much. My physical fitness lost its way after I began having children, which tends to happen. My oldest child is 13yrs old, almost 14 and that's how long I've been overweight. WAAAY TOO LONG!! No shorts, no bathing suits, and practically nothing sexy in 14yrs! You could say my ego or self esteem took a major hit. I really didn't feel as though wearing those things were appropriate for me anymore. Nowadays, even though I'm still overweight, obese even, I've managed to get my self esteem back, at least most of it. Really, that's the first step. Realizing that your size doesn't mean that you can't be sexy, attractive, and confident. Should you select your clothing in a manner that enhances your body type? Absolutely, but that goes for slim people too, so it's just about taste and common sense. However, if you don't like what you see in the dressing room mirror (those are the worst mirrors in the world!!) and clothes shopping is your worst nightmare, then there is only one thing you can do...........CHANGE IT!!! Easier said then done, right? I know, I'm right there with you, but I know this to be true.................IF YOU DON'T CHANGE SOMETHING, THEN NOTHING WILL CHANGE!!!
Ok, well, that's it for now. I hope you've become inspired enough to get started or at least thinking about it. But remember, the longer you keep putting it off, the longer your gonna stay overweight. I've started and in my next post I will be sharing with you my weight loss goals, my timeline, beginning weight, my exercises, where I am now, and maybe some before pics.........maybe. Until next time world **muaaah** Buh bye!
