Year of transition!

I believe this is the year of transformation. There has been positive and some devastating change. This year has been a tough year for so many people around the world. Transformations big and small. The victims in Haiti and in Chili due to earth quakes. Also yesterday the volcano in Iceland. Everyone will be changed in some way this year. For me it is a physical transformation. I want to loose weight.

Sense I was a baby I was a chunky girl. Fat, chubby, voluptuous, curvy, whatever you want to call it that's what I was and still am. I am a proud chunky girl and have been my whole life. But to say I have felt peace with my body would be a lie. I have been working on building my inside for the past 10 years. Now it's time for the outside to reflect who Iam as a whole person. Being a big girl my whole life I always knew how to carry myself. Fashion has never been an issue for me. I am a diva! Feeling good about yourself is a battle for big and skinny folks. Losing weight is for my mental and physical well being. So my goal is to lose up to 40 pounds. I will be posting pics of myself as I go through the weight lost process.



My plan is simple. Eat better and exercise. I have been advised to exercise 3-5 days a week. To eat every three hours to build up your metabolism. To have lots of color on your plate. Drink plenty of water, journal what you eat, and get plenty of sleep!

This is all a learning process for me so hopefully we can support each other. This is the hardest thing I have done. I heard that people loose weight and keep it off when they get support. I am asking for your support and you know I will support you. Make this season count! Dont let another year go by feeling bad about how you look. If you have healthy advice please drop a few lines and let me know!
