I've struggled with my weight almost my whole life.
I'm 29 today. Knockin' on 30's door.
If I don't get my weight situation under control now, I'm afraid I'll be singing the same tune for the rest of my life. I don't want that. And I ESPECIALLY don't want to pass this problem on to my precious daughter.
So I need your support!
I'm going to post my weight every Monday, hoping that the accountability of having shared my issue with the whole world* will motivate me to keep up the good fight.
Wish me luck!
*I know the whole world doesn't read my blog. But they could. Except China. I'm sure it's banned there.
Happy Birthday Joy! I hope you have a great one! I've thought about the same thing the whole accountability issue with losing weight and I think it's a great motivator. Ha just going to the dr. here recently (several times) with Rusty and him knowing my exact weight has been a big motivator. Good luck and lots of hugs today!
ReplyDeleteWow thats brave, you'll do great..I was wondering about your announcement..I had thought it may be another little one..I was very curious..!Good Luck to you..!
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed that you were able to have courage to post this. I too I have struggled for a long time with my weight. Starting today I am back on the work out and eat right wagon! Good Luck with your journey!!
ReplyDeleteYou're my hero! I will be walking right alongside you. Literally and figuratively! :) I'm with ya. Happy happy birthday!! (At least you'll always be younger than me.)
ReplyDeleteGreat post! You can do it!!!
ReplyDeleteYOu can do it, Joy! I promise not to give you a cookie cake. But I still expect you to give me one, for the record.
ReplyDeleteJoy - Meredith let the cat out of the bag and I told her how I've been struggling since I saw a friend's blog in November about struggling with wieght to get the courage to blog about it for the accountability. I've had a little snare on that resolution but I am sick of looking like this, hating all the clothes I try on, and not feeling good. To know my friends are doing this too gives me encouragement. I know this is one of our struggles with our humanness (meredith loves my knew humanness view!! ha!!) but I am here for you and hopefully through the ups and downs we can encourage each other!! then we can get meredith a cookie cake to reward ourselves and eat it all!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Good luck with your journey. I'm on the same path. I'm swerving a little and taking some detours but I'm there.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Birthday! I struggle a lot with staying on track and getting to the gym or not eating queso at every meal, but it is so worth it. I gained 15 lbs in my first year of marriage and that is not a cycle that I want to repeat at every anniversary...If you ever need someone to commiserate with over everything you are not eating, feel free to drop me a line :) Don't forget to cheat at least once a week. I think about my cheat meal ALL WEEK LONG. I reward myself with food (totally against the rules, I'm sure) and it helps keep me motivated. Good luck and remember most of the women you know are on the journey with you!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed you are making your weight loss journey public! Good luck and congrats on your success this week! I gained waaaaay too much weight in my pregnancy ... and Ava turns 1 tomorrow and I still have 30 lbs to go ... sigh...
