Struggles of a twenty something girl who is desperately trying to lose weight.

YIKES!!!
So I got on the scale this morning......WOW! I weigh more than I thought I did. Maybe the scale is defective? Maybe I should return it and try another one.
Well, it looks like I am going to be working a lot harder than anticipated.
I know how you feel... When I got on the scale last Monday I couldn't believe what I saw. That number was the largest I have ever seen and it just doesn't seem possible. How many cookies did I eat over Christmas!!! I definetly did not expect to see a number that high but in my first week I lost 5.2 lbs!!!!!!!!!! That was an awesome jumpstart to my diet. I just know you will do well too!!! All you have to remember is "JUST DO IT!"
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.
