The Start:

My first instinct is to tell you "Oh, I've always been fat". In all honesty that's probably the best coping mechanism any one person can have. We all know, that can't possibly be true.

I remember being a young girl- probably in about second or third grade- and watching myself get fatter and fatter. It seemed like it was out of my control. I loved food. I always had. I always will. I could blame my poor eating habits on my parent's low income or on being an emotional or bored eater. BUT I'm not going to sit here and make excuses for myself.

My problem isn't losing weight. My problem is lacking motivation. I've always lacked the motivation to do something about it.

Today while driving, I had a revelation. I asked myself "Are you happy?" and I realized that there are a lot of things in this world I can't control-- things that will undoubtly make me unhappy. However, how I look and feel I can control and I can he happy with that.

The main goal of this journey isn't to lose weight. It's to feel better. When I feel better, I'll naturally look better and lose weight.


If any of these sound like you... join me and let's take one step at a time together- from vegging to veggies.
