All my younger life I was thin and athletic. The word overweight was laughable to me. Then my 20's set in, I got married and went on birth control, the weight moved up a bit. Then I got off birth control and in 7 years had 4 kids. My life gets really busy and bam- here I am smack in this body of mine. I do not hate it, but I do not love it either. If I did I would treat it like it should be treated. But I am ready to. I need to. I am in my mid 30's, my metabolism is slowing and if I do not do this NOW I will regret it.
Why do I want to lose weight?
1. Health, my number one concern. With heart disease and breast cancer very close to me (parents) I need to change NOW.
2. My quality of life. Right now I am tired and sluggish and my kids are suffering for it.
3. I want to wear some really cute expensive clothes from Sundance. I refuse to buy any the weight I am.
4. I don't want people to think I am working on my 5th child cause I AM NOT. I am "fixed" (aka tubes tied) and enjoying this stage in my life.
So there it is. Written out. Now I need to make it happen. I am counting on my good friend Tiffany, co-author of this blog and having the same struggles, to keep me on track because I NEED accountability to make this work.
