SO GLAD I'M B

I have decided that I am going to use this blog as a means of accountability for my weight loss. I am at a place now in my life where I want to live the best life I can and live in complete abundance. Be it in my love life, professional and personal life. I want to live abundantly. I have had to deal with the battle of the bulge for most of my life. Being in theatre and a dancer/ cheerleader I had to battle the scrutiny of weight everyday. I have had body image issues as well an eating disorder. I have had surgeries and everything. But, I was young and naïve and was doing it for the wrong reasons and the wrong people. This is no resolution but a commitment to life, a prosperous and abundant one. This is not a religious blog but I am finding strength in John 10:10 which says "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." So I had to ask myself the question was I living my life completely as God wants. Wholeheartedly, I can say no. I was living for other people. Fulfilling their agendas and not thinking about me. Is it selfish! HELL YEAH! And if you don’t take care of you; how in the hell are you going to know how to take care of someone else.

Tonight our aerobics instructor said that your body is going to treat you how you treat it. If you put junk in it its going to perform junky. I know my weakness and I have realized that I have to remember moderation. But, I am going back to being a Vegetarian. When I lived in NYC I was a Vegetarian and I loved it. The variety and different food was exciting. But after 9-11, and moving back to Texas the home of land and cattle, I started eating meat. And packed on nearly 100lbs. the fast pace living of the city kept me going. Moving back to Houston, which is the fattest city in Texas made the weight gain easy.

So in 2010 its all about John 10 and 10. Let’s live the good life people. So as I weighed in today I was at a whopping 293lbs. Yes I said it and I am ready to get to my goal/ ideal weight is 175lbs is it realistic? YEP! I am ready for the journey and I want you to embark on this with me. I will keep you updated with my fitness regime and my diet.
