July 7, 2011 - The day I made my commitment to dieting naked. (read it here) I made public my inner war with weight loss. Over a years time, so much has changed in our lives. I no longer have an infant. I have a sweet little 1 year old and (sometimes) we can manage a predictable schedule. Life is (most of the time) easier to be healthy. A ton of other things have changed but one major thing...
I have a different view of my body. I still see imperfections and I have 'fat days', but it is all secondary to the strong, fearless and slightly slimmer body I see today. I think I'm down about 30ish pounds from where I was a year ago. (if you counted the ones that I gained and lost again, it'd be a lot higher number, but I'm trying to just remain positive!) I didn't record my exact weight then because I was pretty ashamed. I'm down lower than I remember being in at least 10 years? ...And that's pretty awesome.
My goal for the next year is to lose 50-60 more pounds. I'm 28 years old now and this is MY year. The weight tracker app that I use estimates me reaching my goal March 13, 2013. I know that is not set in stone or anything, but it certainly gives me a tangible date. It isn't some unknown date far in the future.... its not so far away at all.
Because of all the love from my family and my friends... I can do this. Thank you! And a special Thank you to my husband that has been here through everything. He has witnessed the restricting of certain foods in our house and has never once complained when I go all experimental in the kitchen! He is my rock. My best friend and my constant encourager who loves me and reminds me ever day how beautiful I am no matter what the scale says. :) I love you.
