Losing it DONE girl style!!!
I am DONE wishing to be thin and not doing anything about it.
I am DONE sitting on my butt all day.
I am DONE eating for reasons besides real hunger.
I am DONE shopping in the plus size section.
I am DONE putting unhealthy crap in my body.
I am DONE being the fat friend.
I am DONE hiding from the world.
***I AM DONE BEING THE FAT GIRL!!!***

"Life is not about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself."
I wasted so many years wanting to lose weight and become this person that I thought I should be. I planned endlessly how I would do it. That sounds good, right? What was missing was ACTION. I was dreaming about this life that I wanted, but I didn’t do anything about it. I had so many excuses as to why it wasn’t my fault.
I finally had a wake up call. When I found out I was pregnant with my third child and I was at my heaviest weight ever, I had gained 20 lbs since my last baby and never lost the pregnancy weight. I have a history of gaining tons of weight when I am pregnant and I knew that this was either do or die. Basically, I had to learn to keep my weight under control during the pregnancy or I would be heading in a direction (on the scale) that I wasn’t sure if I could return from. Learning healthy habits during pregnancy prepared me for the next stage of my journey, losing the weight.
My turning point came not from numbers on the scale, but from a little voice inside that said “you can do it!” I finally believed in myself and had faith in the process. If I eat healthy and exercise I will lose weight. But as other overweight people know that is only half the battle, the inner turmoil that comes with dieting and emotional eating – that is the key to weight loss. I have started to deal with the reasons that I became overweight and am learning to eat when I am hungry; not when I am lonely, tired, or stressed. This time around I know that I will succeed. I finally changed my mindset; this is a lifestyle change, not a diet.
This journey to health and happiness has taught me so much already. I am learning everyday about myself. One of the most important lessons that I have learned is NOT TO GIVE UP!! Life is going happen; stress, emotional issues, problems, and mistakes will be made. Loving myself and taking care of myself cannot take a back burner no matter what situation I am in. I will not look back, only move forward, because I am DONE!!!
