So I had the pleasure of hanging with my darling, size 0 sister all weekend and (insert sarcasm) Oh what a pleasure that was!! She kept asking me about weight loss and what I was going to do about being over weight and saying that I knew nothing about nutrition and asking if I watched Dr. Oz and went on and on and on!! At first it was irritating and then it got offensive.
My mom and I talked about it and when it comes to weight loss it has to be something you really, really want! And you do it for you, and you only! Then something clicks in your head and you start to make a change for yourself. I pretty much agree with that. It also helps to have a goal to work towards. For example, when I was getting married I knew I had to fit in my dress, I believe I've mentioned this before, but that I when I did really well and stuck to my goal.
Well I am back on the bandwagon. I want to really, really lose weight for my family reunion AND I want to take Maizy swimming and look good in a swimsuit. My daughter really is my motivation. On my way home from work last night there was a gentleman talking on NPR about weight loss and was saying what to do to shed those pounds and how simple it can until you add factors such as your financial situation (healthy food is more pricey), your work schedule, if you have children or not and so on and so on. He really caught my attention with that statement. Those are definitely some challenges of mine, but I can overcome them and I will!!
YAY!!! I am happy to report that after my first day I am 1.4 pounds down!! Woo hoo!!! Now just imagine if I exercised too!!! baby steps, baby steps!
