Deciding it is time to make a huge life style change is always scary. Like most people I don't really know where to start. I know it is something that I need to do. But how do you start doing something when you don't even know where the toe line is? I am at the point where I need to loose weight and shift my life style to a more healthy and balanced routine.
Last night I had a major break through, I finally realized that I had had enough. For a while now I have been avoiding mirrors and making excuses to keep my food habits up. I have avoided buying new clothes because I just simply did not want to face the reality of what I have become. So I wear my husbands t-shirts or my maternity shirts from last year. But I am sure for anyone going through this, there comes a time where you cannot do this any longer and something has to be done.
This is my time for change. As difficult as it is to admit and reveal to anyone my struggles with my weight and body image, my hope is that I will find this blog a help to keep me be accountable for my choices. Also, one day I hope to look back at this very post and realize how far I have come. There is always that saying that every thousand mile journey begins with a single step...this is mine. As small and simple as it may be, it is a step and I know its in the direction of a healthier and happier me.
