I’m Amy. I’m 33. I’m single. I’m loud, I laugh with a weird laugh. I shop excessively and can’t stand to go out of the house looking a mess.
I’m also obese.
Oh you can say I’m not, but it’s true. I’m morbidly obese actually. My mom used to tell me you won’t lose it overnight because you didn’t gain it overnight. Well, I feel I’ve been this way my WHOLE life. I’ve lost weight before, almost 45 pounds. But I said, ha, I can eat what I want again.
Wrong, I gained it back.
Plus 5 more.
Last Sunday I signed up for weight watchers again. I’m tired of being single and you can say a guy is going to love me for me, well we’re superficial in some ways. That’s the God’s honest truth. And they're not beating down my door the way I look now.
I’m doing this for me. I’m ready to make a change in my life. It’s been one week and so far I’m a success, I won’t post numbers because I feel that gets in the way for what I’m trying to do.
The goal is to do one day at a time, to lose weight no matter how big or small.
To find the inner skinny bitch that’s ready to come out.
I know this won’t happen in a day, a week or even a month. It’s a life long change and I’m ready to do it. I’m tired of being the fat friend.
One week down, way more to go.
Ugh, such a difficult post to write, I would imagine. I post about embarrassing things all day long, but have the hardest time dealing with the weight stuff. You are right... being heavy is inhibiting. I've been both ends of the spectrum and can certainly attest to being treated MUCH better as a thin girl. I know how difficult this is, and I want you to know that I support you a million percent. E-mail me, text me, tweet me, call me, blog me, stalk me... whatevs. Good luck, good luck, good luck. I'm rooting for you.
ReplyDeleteHey Amy.
ReplyDeleteI know we've never met in person but I know just from years of emailing and IM's and postings that you are a VERY strong and confident woman. YOU can do ANYTHING you put your mind to. You have that determination. Make that life change you're talking about fun. As you know from the past...you may stumble but I have EVERY faith that you WILL pick yourself up and move on to the next successful day. Little steps give big results! All the bestest girlfriend.
