New And Improved Me

Well, It has been a year since I started this weight loss journey.  I have quit and re-started many times, but I am more than determined this time around. I am now officially, as of today, 30 lbs lighter than last year. I started at 210lbs and I am now 180lbs!!!!!! I am so excited. I am doing it a healthy way, NOT starving myself and working my butt off at the gym.

This past year has been beyond amazing. I have become a full time employee at my job. My boyfriend moved in, we have learned to communicate, and help each other out. I have learned that if I want something, only I can go get it for myself. I have quit smoking, I have battled many many many gynecologist appointments, and now I am battling my weight, and happily winning.  I feel after this year that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to! I am more than excited to see what this next year has in store for me. I feel like my accomplishments are huge, and I cannot wait to accomplish so much more!

 I am new to this, and I want to post on Facebook and twitter less. I want to just express my thoughts and my feelings for the day I am posting, and even if no one reads this, well, so be it, I am getting my thoughts out for the day. That is what this blog is for. Not for criticism, not for smack talk, not for me to get your opinion, just for me to express everything I want to. You have positive comments then you are welcome to bring them forward, but otherwise, my life does not need you commenting.

I have posted, many times, on Facebook and Twitter, and Instagram how happy I am to have finally found a man that I can talk to about everything; my friends, my work, my family, money, my quit smoking journey, my "girl issues", and most recently my weight loss journey.  I have told him my ACTUAL weight and not once has he looked at me differently, judged me, or told me that I am anything less than beautiful.

I do not want to be that person that posts all the time how madly in love she is, but I want to shout it to the world. I cannot wait to spend my life with this man, and yes, I do want to get married, but we have so much more to discover about each other first. We have only known each other 7 years. We have a life time to get married.  We are getting close to living with each other for a year, and dating for 3, and I could not be happier to come home to him every day. 

I didn't actually think there would be a man out there that had a great work ethic, ;love and could love all the 215lbs of me. Yes, last year I peaked at 215lbs. I was not happy with myself anymore.  I do not thinking being large is a bad thing, nor should people judge you on that, but I want to be comfortable with myself again, and I want to get back into the sports I love. I just now hit 185lbs and that is a HUGE mark for me. I haven't been this weight since grade 12 of high school. I am comfortable with me, because I am working for what I want. I am doing it a healthy way, and people cannot say I took the easy way out. I cannot wait to show people my results this time next year. It is a whole lifestyle change, not just a diet.

I am looking forward for what life brings me in the future and I am in a great place this morning. I hope you reading this have a great day, because life is a beautiful thing if you let it be that.
