You guys, I am fat.
It all started with this picture.
(from http://www.fashionloveandmartinis.com/2012/01/my-winter-look-feat-we-love-colors.html)
In other posts, the blogger talks about how she ordered a dress from Eloquii, the plus size store from The Limited. Um – I barely squeak into their sizing. Therefore, I must be this big!!
This is a disaster!! No offense to the lovely blogger (who is quite lovely), I just don’t want to be so big!! Not to mention I’ve been feeling pressure from Matt to lose weight.
Therefore, I am starting a brutal spring diet. When I get my next paycheck (because I don’t have money to go buy more food right now!), I am buying healthy food! Chicken breast, fresh veggies and fruits, and non fat dairy products. No starches or fatty foods for me! And furthermore, Matt and I are joining a gym that we will go to right after work. In fact, over the next week, we will start walking every night after work, until we get a gym membership.
My goal?
Short term, it’s to wear a bikini this summer. Like this one from Monif C.

Long term, it’s to lose at least 50 lbs. Because I like being curvy. I like myself at a size 18 – which I was two years ago when I graduated from college. But this – size 22/24 is just too, too much. So I’d like to lose 50 lbs by Halloween. I’ll write at least one post a week about my weight loss journey.
I applaud you and know you can do it...wish you luck and total encouragement. I think it's fabulous that you know what you yourself want in size and aren't pressured into something unhealthy. Very much on your corner. Maria
