Okay, so for those of you who have seen my first post on this 5 weeks ago, may remember me promising to update my weight and measurements weekly so that I can track my progress in losing weight. Well, since that first post, five weeks ago, I haven’t posted any updates, because frankly, I had gained more weight. Eight pounds, to be exact. And I was too embarrassed to admit to it publicly and so I figured, I just wouldn’t post anything until I got under my starting weight. It seems things aren’t getting better, and if I don’t make this public in some way, then I may never force myself to get things together and start taking care of my body. Why do I want to lose this weight?
Most importantly, I was told four months ago that my cholesterol levels are high, and I really, REALLY don’t want and definitely don’t need that in my life right now.
My knees have become more painful to bend on, and I really don’t want my weight to effect the way I shoot in the future.
I want to be a healthy role model for my three children, and my three year old has already said to me “Mommy you’re too big.” Broke my heart, I tell you.
I want to be like it was before I had children…when I woke up in the morning and took care of my appearance first thing. Styling my hair, doing my makeup, and just being proud of my appearance.
Most importantly, I have a GIANT collection of designer clothing that fit into before I had kids, that I cannot get rid of because I keep telling myself that one day, I will fit into them again.
And I will, God help me.
For any of you who can relate with my struggles or would like to give some encouragement or advice, I would really appreciate it and could really use it at this point in my life. And I thank you in advance.
Here are my current stats.
