April Motivation
At one point in time these were my fat jeans!! Now, they are my skinny jeans and I'm trying to work to get at the point where they are my fat jeans again. By April I will be in these, and hopefully by May they will be too big!!!
My name is Emily and I’m 27 years old. I have a bachelor’s degree in Marketing and I have been out of school since May of 2008. I live in a small town in Ohio with my boyfriend and our vivacious Italian Greyhound, Duster and our little rescue mutt Sparky. My main hobbies right now are couponing and now the glorious project of losing weight. (enough to make me happy)
This is a new year, a new decade, and time for some new changes. One change is that I plan to lose weight. Recently, I was trying to put a Myspace page together and I took some pictures of myself. I looked at them and my thoughts were “Woof, Buzz’s girlfriend”. LOL! I felt like that girl in the picture from Home Alone. Completely Awful feeling! So, I realized I needed a drastic change.
Over the years my weight has gone up and up. When I started college I started to gain the weight. And, before I knew it, over the course of fours years, I had gained one hundred pounds. It has really affected me socially and mentally. Right now I am at a point in my life that something needs to change for my well being, not only physically, but mentally. I find myself not being happy with anything I do, not happy with myself, my life in general. I’m hoping that if I can lose the weight and feel better about myself I can then feel more confident to finally find a “career” and not just a job that I hate going to everyday.
So, my goal for this blog is for me to be accountable for my actions and my eating habits. I think that if I am sharing this with everyone I am going to be more likely to follow along and actually “CHANGE” instead of trying temporary fixes, that DON’T work. Well, I wish the best of luck to all who are following and I know we can do this together and hold everyone accountable. Let’s make this the year of change.
