My First Post...A new start

So I just turned 25 on October 28 and I truly had to reflect on my life so far.  Some parts of my life have fallen into, place but my weight can't even be associated with the word "fallen."  Let me tell you my weight has plagued me for as long as I can remember and I'm just freaking tired of it!  

Okay, so here's my goal: TO NOT BE OVERWEIGHT BY THE TIME I TURN 26!  Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be skinny (I so wouldn't wear skinny well), but I don't want to be obese; a size 10 is perfect.  There, you go; pretty simple goal, but I know it's going to be a difficult execution. 

I know so many of you reading this (hopefully you are reading this) blog understand what I'm about to face, so words of encouragement are welcomed!   I know through prayer and support I'll accomplish my goal; I just have to achieve it one pound at a time!

Okay...here I go!  Wish me luck!

Wishing you luck!

Find your nitch with this website. I personally don't utilize everything they offer, but I do what works for me, you know? No one can argue with how nice the people here are though! I always seem to get an encourageing word just when I need it the most!

My advise, say to yourself  "just for today" Just for today, I willl not have the extra calorie food, myabe tomorrow, but just for today, I won't. And just for today, I will walk one extra mile, maybe not tomorrow, but just for today! (Helps me take it one day at a time!)

Start invisioning what costume you'll want to wear next Halloween at your goal weight! It'll be a friday night....gonna be a good time! :)

Welcome

Hi there! Welcome to EP! I totally know what you are talking about when you say you don't want to be skinny. I would like to look healthy! A size 10 sounds perfect. I wish you much success on your journey.

TOTALLY understand!!

I hear ya . . . and, more importantly, I understand!   I'm not looking to be skinny, either - just healthier.   Heck, at this point, I'd be thrilled with a size 14, even!  :-)

You're going to find a lot of support here.  Also, I'm sure that you'll find  how getting your thoughts out will help you make the changes necessary so that you can reach your goal.   (I've also found that even though I don't post on my own blog every day, it helps me sooo much to read other people's successes, challenges, and thought processes.)
