So many places to go :) #world #travel #inspiration #destination
struck a chord with me.
I’m not the type to want to be skinny minny. I appreciate and admire curves on a woman. I just know that I have allowed myself to express certain feelings in my eating habits. I have lost weight only to gain it all back and it makes me miserable. Well technically i’m not miserable BUT it definitely bothers me when I look at myself in the mirror. I am going on a journey to find the healthy me. The better me. I am giving myself a huge task. I want to lose 30-40 pounds in the next 120 days (4 months) . May sound like a lot but honestly this summer is coming up and I just want to be free as a bird. I’m sick and tired of looking in the mirror talking about how I’m going to get fit and get rid of this fat thats weighing me down. Its all talk talk talk talk. Im ready to take action. I don’t want to go through life just dragging myself through. I want to run through it. I want to carry myself with grace and love for myself. Growing up in this society the media distorts all of our views on beauty. Or what beautiful is. I find beauty it curvy women, heavy women, small women and all sorts of women. Im not trying to say I want to be a model or look like one. I want to look in the mirror and feel beautiful. Its not just about my weight. I know through weight loss there comes a lot of emotional struggle. There are reasons that i’ve gained all this weight. I am publicly announcing this because I want people to make changes in their lives. Wether its because you need to get fit and get healthy or to change your attitude towards things. Wether its to make a change in your community or a change within yourself. We need to strive for the best, we need to put ourselves first and be the best we can be so what we put out in the world is a whole buncha good stuff. Im sure you don’t want to just sit around living life day to day without a purpose. Living life waiting for things to happen. Make them happen. We should all get up and get out there. To me this is more than just losing weight, this is shedding off years and years of emotional damage, heavy burdens. Its shedding off issues that I’ve carried for too long. Its bottled up emotions being thrown away. Its me forgiving myself for treating my body so horribly. Its me picking myself up and becoming the person God has made me to be. Im publicly announcing this because I hope to inspire other people to change. Change for the better, change for the good. I need support, and so does everyone else. I want to use tumblr as my weight loss diary. I will journal how i’m doing. Wether there is a change or wether it stays the same. I will try and post progressive pictures. However, I may feel super uncomfortable. I do know that I will most definitely post a before and after picture. My countdown will begin on March 1, 2011 and end July 1st 2011. I’m also doing this so that i feel like i need to answer to someone if im not losing the weight. hahahhaha Wish me luck! :)
p.s some inspiration comes from ben does life, i used to be fat, the biggest loser, and my friends :)
