OK this is new for me. i wanted somewhere where I can write my feelings but also have input about what I am feeling.
Now this blog has been influenced about the extra pounds I have added to my body. My background weight story is; as a child I was the girl running around doing whatever the boys were doing but better. i pushed myself several times just to prove to everyone, anything the boys could do girls can do as well, if not better. As I got older I noticed that I wasn't the skinniest but i wasn't chubbiest either. I just wasn't-MODEL material. I actually had a man tell me that I should watch what I eat cause my size seven 15 year old body was not appealing.(What I would do to have that body back) I would go days without eating just so I could try to get rid of those non-appealing extra pounds. I got pregnant at 16 and had my handsome son when I was 17. it was after I had my son that noticed how different my body was. It was if my mind and my body were fighting against each other. Once again I tried to take the easy way out and would try to go as long as I could without eating. That only works for short term, and I am perfect example of how that does not work. Any pounds that i lost I gained back but doubled. Now being 23 years old I am 210 pounds and its not that I am not happy with in myself, but for the first time in my life I want to look how I feel. I am going to start working out and eating well all the while posting blogs along my struggle to lose the weight. I understand that there will be good days and not so good days. But I do know that I am not the only one out here struggling with the extra pounds. Please feel free to write with me with what your doing to make yourself feel great, and if you are already where you want to be please let me know what helped you.
This is where my question comes into my blog. ``Who says what size we have to be?``
i will start my challenge in the morning, so I hope to talk to anyone else who feels they need a good healthy challenge to start to feel good about themselves too. Have a good night sleep, tomorrow is the start of something totally new.

Wow, the joys of motherhood, huh? :0) I have three of the little buggers too. I love them with everything I have, but we all have to remember to be US too, not just mom/wife/employee/friend. This is why I love my blog. It's a spot to remember that I'm still Kristi.
ReplyDeleteYes, the mind and body fight each other. I don't think there is a perfect size-do what feels right, eat healthier but don't deny yourself everything you ever loved. Be happy!
BTW-thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. You made my day!
