I had not weighed myself in quite a while, and I was dreading getting on the scale. I worked pretty hard to get this weight off, and I was a little worried that I had gained some back between Thanksgiving and New Years. I finally decided yesterday to bite the bullet and get on the scale. I was disappointed that I had gained weight, but only about five pounds. Considering I have lost weight before and always gained it all back (plus some) I was happy to see it was only five pounds.
That said, I am also determined to lose the rest of this weight. Last year, I almost hit the one hundred pound lost mark, but for the past five months or so, I haven't lost a single pound. Since it's a new year, I finally want to get down to where I want to be. I still have about 50 pounds to go, and I am not sure how to lose it all. I know I have to stop eating fast food so much, but when I am on the road all day, fast food is easy to eat on the go. I also have to exercise more. I want to try the 90 Day Review, but I'm not sure I could do it. It looks pretty intense. I think I need to start smaller and work my way up to this. The Extreme Body Workout looks awesome, too. I want the body they say I could have. I want defined muscles and to be rid of my fat rolls. I want men to whistle when I walk by.
Okay, so I may never get to that point, but I do want to be healthier. I want to set a better example for my kids. Unfortunately, they are following in my footsteps with bad eating habits and not getting enough exercise. I want my 14 year old daughter to be proud of her Beach Body. Heck, I want to be proud of mine. I only started wearing a bathing suit a couple of years ago. I was always ashamed of my body, and I don't want my kids to grow up feeling that way.
I want them to feel how I feel now. Confident and proud of who I am, regardless of what I look like on the outside. It took me almost 40 years to get here, though. Hopefully it won't take them that long.
