Things are about to change

 
Do you hate change as much as I do?
I am flat out, not good with change. 
I try to be okay with it, but deep down, I'm not.
And I have a BIG change that needs to be made.

I am overweight. 
I know, you are shocked, right?
I've known it for years. I have not been healthy since Zachary was a baby. 
And lets face it, I didn't lose the weight then just because I was exercising and eating good.
I mean, I was doing those things, but the main reason I lost weight was because my husband just died. 
And I was stressed. 
 
I have done Weight Watchers before and it worked when I was honest.
Which a lot of the time I wasn't.
I told myself I was comfortable with how I looked. 
But I wasn't.
I told myself it happens after having babies. 
But it doesn't have to. 
I told myself I'd lose it after I was done having kids.
And now I'm there. 
 
I am done having kids. 
I have no other excuse. 
I have to lose weight.
I want to lose weight.


I am not healthy, 
and I don't feel good in my own shoes. 
I get that I have a looong journey in front of me. 
I get that I didn't put this weight on overnight, 
and I will not lose it overnight. 
 
I am not hoping to look like a runway model. 
I am not hoping to be a size 2.
But I do want to be comfortable with myself. 
I do want to look in the mirror and like what I see. 
I want to be able to put on a pair of jeans that are not a size 18.
 
I get that I will have to make a lot of changes in my life.
And I'm sure I will have plenty of ups and downs. 
And I'm ready to get started. 
 

So coming this Wednesday I will start sharing my journey. 
and I hope you'll follow along.
