Taking the Plunge

I'm not writing this post for anyone but me.  I'm not asking for support or congratulations or anything of that nature.  I am simply putting this out there so that it is out there.  So that it is real.  So that I know that others know.  If I didn't I would stop. 

I'm on a journey.
.
A long journey.

A journey that I started about 6 years ago and quit halfway through. 

A journey that I am determined to finish this time. 

You see, I know that I'm not in picture perfect health.  I know that I need to loose weight.  I know that I need to be more active.  I know that my blood pressure would not be elevated if I were healthier.  And, despite what some may believe, I didn't get this way because I eat 5,000 calories a day.  Some people just struggle with their weight.  I always have and always will.  It is frustrating, but I'm done letting it control my life.  So today I joined Weight Watchers for the second time in my life. 

I had great success the first go around and I am going to have great success this time as well.  I am determined. 

Determined to be healthy
I could care less if I am "thin" or if I have the "perfect body" or any of that other crap.  I just want to be healthy.  I want to feel good about who I am as a person because I have a purpose in my life and because I am healthy enough to live that purpose out. 

Here I go!  I'm on my way to a healthier me!

  1. well I think your beautiful! I have also struggled with weight all my life. Then having two kids didn't help. But I did the biggest loser video game program it seemed to help. But I just eat healthy and as I get older the more I really don't care what my body looks like under my clothes. Good Luck! weight watchers seems to be a great program my husband's mom did it and lost a ton of weight! keep us posted!
