Well, I have decided to start this blog before beginning my weight loss journey. It is Christmas Eve, and everything is stirring at our house. Now, let's get one thing straight. We are NOT starting on our (mine & John's) weight loss journey today.
I have been overweight, chubby, fat, etc. my whole life. I have tried so hard my life to blend in. I learned at a very early age, if you make people laugh, that they will laugh with you, and not at you. So, starting after the new year we are starting a new lifestyle called "Thrive," and exercise (gasp)!
Exercise has never been my favorite pastime, I will honestly admit. I wish it had, I wish I could say that I was one if those uber-active kids, but I was not. I was a Mama's girl who liked to spend time in the kitchen, and a Daddy's girl who was treated like a princess.
So, The next question might be, why now? Why after 31 years on this planet worry with weight? I am generally healthy; cholesterol, blood pressure, all of these are normal. Well, the first answer is that I don't want to be this way anymore. I don't want to blend in, just to save myself from the possibility of getting my feelings hurt. I want John & I to have a long, healthy life in front of us. I want to sit on a plane, and not be uncomfortable. I want to shop in "normal" stores. And, lastly, I want to get pregnant, which losing weight, can help. That is all for now.
ROLL TIDE!
