I haven’t posted in a while. My weight loss goals have kind of been put on hold. Although I’ve been striving to be more healthy and exercise more. The reasons for the hold is a good one though because we found out in January that we are expecting a new addition to our family. My midwife only wanted me to gain 15 pounds over the course of the pregnancy and now at 9 months I’ve only gained 14 pounds. That has been a big triumph for me. Once the baby comes I’ll actually lose weight because of all of the water weight and baby will come off. Hooray!

This is the most recent picture I have of me by myself. I don’t really like being in photos right now because I hate the way I like in most of them. This is from Christmas morning.

Time to get serious!

I know what you are thinking.. “Ohhh… Noooo… Not another weight loss blog!” Well here is my story and you can decide if you want to keep reading or not. I plan to keep updating as a way to keep myself accountable.

I’ve struggled with my weight for many years and right now I am at my heaviest point. 280 pounds is the most I have ever weighed and the most I ever want to weigh. It is time for it to go.

I’ve gone through some major life changes in the last 3 years. I got married, had my first child, started working on my Master’s degree, and had some relationships in my life that changed dramatically and have caused me a lot of stress. I realized the other day I’ve been using these things as my excuses for why I am making poor choices when I choose what to eat or choose not to exercise.

I love myself and I love my family and I want to be at my best. This is my first step to do that.

Funny story time….

We went to Old Navy tonight. When I was in high school I shopped at Old Navy quite a bit. I always loved their clearance rack because I could find nice clothes for a reasonable price. As I’ve gained weight over the last few years I’ve had a harder time finding clothes that fit me correctly especially at Old Navy and the clothing seems to be of poor quality. A good friend and I went to ON tonight and I found 2 shirts and a dress that I wanted to try on. The clothes were so terrible. The shirt looked like someone took a pancho and put elastic around the waist. I can only imagine that a woman with no curves could wear such a shirt. The second top was made of a sweater like material and when I put it on it was so short it barely covered the top of my jeans and had two awkwardly placed pockets on the front. The dress also was not made for me. It was clearly made for someone with a very very long torso and no hips. Usually when I try clothes on in the dressing room and they don’t fit I feel sad but not today. I found myself laughing… I couldn’t help but think of how ridiculous these garments look on me and how someone actually thought it was a good idea. Poor designers. Poor shoppers.
