This journey started in late December when I decided, this coming year-2012- I was going to make new year's resolutions. It's a first for me. In my 26 years of life, I've never attempted to make resolutions. This year was different. I made a bunch.
1. Eat better (less meat, way more veggies)
2. Do a craft show
3. Take more family photos
4. Blog more (on the family blog)
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.
The "Why?" : I want to see my great-grandbabies. The End.
I'm excited to take this journey and I hope you don't follow along. I hope you join me- from vegging to veggies!!
