I need to start eating better [also referred to as dieting], and being more healthy in general. I'm getting married this year, and I think both Neil and I deserve to have a healthier looking and feeling me.
I've tried before, and I have failed before. I've thought about it, read about it, talked about it. I've even lied about it. I don't think it's going to work anymore.
I spoke with two friends today, both of which have had amazing results from doing some little things to change their eating and exercising habits - I heard what they told me, and thought to myself "why isn't it like that for me". Lack of determination. I'm going to need a boost here.
So there I said it, I have [in the past] had no determination for losing weight, eating better and feeling better. Well, without further adieu I'd like to announce my motivations.
- I'm GETTING MARRIED THIS YEAR.
- I deserve to look and feel better.
- Neil deserves to have me look and feel better.
- I'd like to share some of my sisters clothes. [she may not read this ever, and she may]
- I would like to like clothes shopping. Especially WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING.
So there you have it. I'm trying to get motivated, and keep myself accountable. Natalie - I know you'll keep my chin up - you always have when I have pretended to do this before. No pretending this time.
Ok, so share your dieting successes with me [I'll need them]. Send me some great healthy recipes because I love to cook good food.
I'm going to start slowly, so I don't get frustrated.
You can so totally do this Ash! I have tried and failed so many times in the past too, but all it takes is one success. Just keep pushing forward, and start slow as you said you were going to do. You will get there mentally, and when you do, there will be no stopping you! I hope you will keep us updated on your blog regularly to let us know your SUCCESSES, because I know that is what will happen. It will also hold you accountable :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you Ash. Everyone deserves to like the way they look, and there will be nothing more liberating than the feeling that you made it happen with hard work and determination (which you have, you just need to wake it up!)
What ... you lied to me the last time ... UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBut you can do it hun, I know you can. I expect daily updates, either to my email account or on your blog.

Boo I posted a comment but it didn't take.
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying reading all the new blogs popping up. It is nice to know that you are not alone in the obstacles in your life, and that everyone has great joys and tough struggles they face day to day.
Anyhow, I'm there with you trying as well! I think I have been avoiding wedding plans because I dread dress shopping so damn much right now. I got to my goal weight years ago (haha re: skinny facebook pictures) but that has slipped farther and farther and fatter away. You have great reasons and I know you can do it! It is certainly a tough thing to do, but is so very satisfying in the end!
