Day One


Well i have begun the weight loss journey. Mind you this is like the millionth time that I have tried. One of those times i got to my goal weight and below. That time i started at gasp 205 pounds and got down to 155. This time im starting at 276 (double gasp) and hoping for 190. It wont be fun and it wont be easy but it will be worth it.


What makes it worth it this time u say? My daughter is the simple answer. I never want her to struggle like my mom and i do. I want her to see a happy healthy mom. That mom does not have to be skinny but she does need to go for a walk without huffing and puffing and getting a headache. I need to set an example that i am proud of.


In my mind im skinny in pictures im huge and somewhere in between is the reality that is me. I will note my journey and would love any tips and advice along the way. I am doing the weight watchers points plan. So watch out when u see me ill have my points calculator in hand. Please please do not ask how many points something is before i put in in my mouth. If im eating i know why and what i am eating.


Today has not been to bad. Its already 2 and i have 21 points left. Im a little hungry and have a slight headache from lack of coca cola. I think that will be the hardest and i may even allow my self one coke a day (i will count it of course).


I will include pics throughout the blog and hopefully this time next year i will be under 200 pounds! thanks for your interest in my journey

xoxo
