Dear friends, I am writing today to share with you the struggle of my life. If merely set your eyes upon me, you have seen that I am what is medically known as "not so trim". If you have known me for any length of time you already know that I have been walking on the path of heaviness for most of my 30 years.
I began to be overweight when I was 6 years old. This continued through all of my schooling until my senior year of college when I successfully lost 90lbs with Weight Watchers and kickboxing. Nearly a decade has past and I have gained ALL of the weight back. I've been on lots of diets for days at a time...none of them have been doable for very long.
However, a strength I have is the true delight I get in sharing my business with others. That's where you come in!
THE IMPETUS: I have hit a number on the scale that is just not right. I've had two babies and the evidence still sits heavily in my middle section. I am starting to feel sluggish and have fat people problems with joint pain and shortness of breath. Even normal activities are starting to feel like chores. That is not a way that I am willing to live any longer.
THE PLAN: I am going to follow the USDA guidelines for eating for one SOLID month. I will blog daily about the experience. If it helps, I will continue. If it doesn't, I will pick a new plan and go with that for a month blogging all the while. I'm in this thing until I feel like I am at a healthy weight. I desire to find a way of eating and moving that is budget friendly, family friendly, and does not require obsession to maintain.
I plan to explore my habits and my heart attitudes and share them with whoever cares.
This will be FUN!
Right here with you, my friend! As a fellow traveler on the not so trim path during most all my life i truly inderstand your struggle and motivation... i love you at any beautiful size and am here to support you however i can! MVTV ~Ang
