In the Beginning

Something happened on my way to skinny....

Let's face it, when you are overweight you tend to find every excuse in the book of why and how you became that way. I do that plus find every excuse of why I can't lose weight. I've tried the cabbage soup diet...that was a smelly one. There has been Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, Weight Watchers (sadly, a total of 8 times that I've joined) and even diet pills prescribed by two different doctors at two different times. Unfortunately, I'm still overweight! No offense to any of those diets but the truth is, it ultimately comes down to me and me alone.

This blog is about the trials, tribulations, funny and torturous exercise moments, weird recipes, and overall obstacles that go on when you are trying to lose weight. Lets face it, something always comes up when you are trying to lose those extra pounds!

My story is like most everybody else's...you were a little chunky in elementary school, pudgy in middle school, you lose 25 pounds before your senior year in high school and all of the sudden you are hot chick with a popularity status. You get married, you get comfortable and size 7 short skirts become size 14 Capri's! Then you have kids and suddenly 10 years after your first baby you are still trying to lose that baby weight. Love my children but hate the fat cells they left me with.

So why am I putting probably the most personal thing to a woman on the internet for hundreds (hopefully) of people to read? Good question! Maybe with some readers cheering me on or at least giving some a laugh, I might actually be successful. I will be sharing lots of personal stories, reasons of doing this, and of course my weight loss journey along the way so please join me and hopefully if nothing else, I can make you laugh!
