It’s Time.
Remember ringing in the new year? I do. Almost half a year ago now. Yikes. It makes me remember certain resolutions I made public. Specifically #2. I’ve been noticing my clothing shrinking…as in I’m getting bigger and they no longer fit like they used to. I bought a scale the other day and I quickly became frustrated with myself. Shocked. It was a number I never want to see again and a number I never want to go above. I was and am kind of humiliated at myself. For the most part, I’m a pretty active person but I’m realizing I need to be more specific about actually losing weight.
I decided how much I wanted to get rid of and wanted to visualize it for myself. (And no, I didn’t see this idea on Pinterest but I’m sure it’s there.) I had some jars left over from Christmas presents, so I did this and set it out on my counter. Every pound lost is transferred to the other jar.
It took me about 5 minutes before I realized it makes me look like a hooker. I remembered I had some left over vase fillers and thought it looked less obvious.
Let me be clear. I don’t hate who I am. I don’t hate my body. It’s just I’m 26 years old and want to live a healthy lifestyle. Currently, I am not. The amount of weight I want to lose is getting me to the realistic weight I should be at for my age and height. My aspiration and goal is not to be a Pinterest model.
A little Pinterest motivation but my favorite is the one below.
I digress. It’s almost June and that’s when I’ll officially begin. Sigh. Here goes nothing. It’ll require self-control. A lot of self-control.
