Me back in nov 2011... And then feb 2012. 40 lbs lighter

I am ready to put myself out there, get in the "scene" and meet new people, try new things and see new places. So much is changing for me in my life this year, it's comforting to know that I can thrive outside of my comfort zone.

Since I've bern going to the gym regularly, I've been noticing a shift in the type of attention I am getting. I think the fact that I'm so happy shows. Sure i lost some weight, I look different, feel different too. While at the gym, and also at work, I get a lot more men smiling different at me. Taking second looks. I don't want to sound full of myself because I most certainly am not. After being looked past for so many years, it's exciting that I am being noticed.

Just a small victory!

Psycho babble

I caught myself the other night talking to my fat. Go ahead, laugh! I was bidding my fat farewell and good riddens I see myself shrinking!! Love it!

Push.

I started this blog in order to express my feelings A lot of previous posts always felt like I had to find something to talk about just to hear myself talk.

I recently, by that I mean 2 months, acted on the decision to change my life. I have always thought of my self as the fat girl, fat cousin, fat sister. Anyway, you get the point- I was fat, physically and mentally. Most of my childhood I was overweight, since about 8 years old. I will be 25 this year.
For the first time in my life,
I am the happiest I have ever been with the way I am CHOOSING to live my life. I joined the gym and I have found it to be the the best outlet!!

So I will be tracking my progress and just thoughts. My brother suggested I start writing a blog. Maybe it can help someone along the way. So much to say, but the words can only be said on writing.
