I've been contemplating blogging for quite some time now. I've grown tired of Facebook (even though I use it frequently) and would like to post something other than a status update ranting that "I despise Monday!" or the typical "Dinner with friends". My life just has more to it than that, and after chatting with other friends that have blogs, this might just be the proper place for me to be. I don't honestly know how often I will update this thing, or if I even have anything worth while to say. Mostly, this blog is going to address where I am now and what's been going on as of late. So... here we go!
The past 10 years of my life have been a rollercoaster of weight loss and weight added. Like many women, I've watched my weight ebb and flow... wait, ebb and flow isn't right. It's more like the tide. I have the tendancy to lose 25, 50 or even 100 pounds (sometimes more) and gain it back. I'm only 26 years old and it's my own fault. Honestly, I blame myself. Not fad diets, not Daniel (the hottie, hunky husband), not my genetics. Myself and only myself. So, this Thursday I'll be happily taking my butt to a new general physician. My OB recommended him so that I can get off of this rollercoaster for the last time. In the past 3 years I have gained 100 pounds. Yes, that's disgusting. Yes, I've been lazy. Yes, I've been eating wrong. So for those random "anonymous" people that like to leave negative comments, feel free to leave them. You're not saying anything I haven't told myself. While I don't intend this blog to be a weight loss/motivational blog, for the most part that's the biggest struggle in my life and always has been.
So. Day 1 down... let's see how may more I can do.
Love the new blog looks great! And can't wait to hear all about your journey~ Good Luck xoxo

ReplyDeleteThanks! It's all because of your beautiful photography! And, I WILL be scheduling a skinny shoot with you when I reach my goal!!
Jackie, you can make it so that anonymous people CANT leave you comments, in fact I would suggest it (mostly because Anonymous commentators are spam).
ReplyDeleteAs far as weight loss and gain goes, I'm right there with you. I want a magic pill that will let me eat what I want and be a size 6 like I was in high school. I hate how big I have gotten and I hate that I have to exercise to get rid of the fat. I've lost 65 pounds and gained every ounce back, lost 10 and gained 15. I know what you're going through.
Good luck at the doctor, please let us know what they recommend (or if there's a new magic pill out! haha) My doctor simply said "You know what you're doing isn't working and you know what works. You need to run on the treadmill three times a week and you need to stop rewarding weightloss with oreos. We will keep an eye on things, but this is up to you." Ugh. Thankfully I have a therapist who is a bit more helpful in the mental side of things. And my friends who love me no matter my size and love me enough to keep me accountable or ask how it's going.
Keeping you in my thoughts,

PS You can set up comments so that they email you when you get a new comment and you can reply to comments by email. I use Yahoo Mail Plus (but there are others you could use if you wanted) and I have to pay for it, but you can always set up an email JUST for blogging purposes if you wanted. I use Microsoft Outlook to help keep track of all my email accounts. Anyway, message me on FB or shoot me an email or a call if you need more details or want some help or have questions :) Info is on my info tab on FB.
