Thanksgiving is over...Thank God.

I enjoyed seeing my family (Well, partly) I enjoyed going out with my friends. I enjoyed hanging but I'm glad it's over.

This weekend, all of my family commented on my weight. Everyone said "Yea, you have gained some weight." My grandmother said "I thought you said you were losing weight?!" WOW!!

I knew I gained weight. The scale, my clothes and the mirror haven't lied. It's one thing for you to know in your mind you've gained weight and feel fat but it's another for everyone in your family to notice and feel compelled to speak on it.

20lbs IS a lot weight. No, I haven't been working on it hard as I should but I am starting to. I will be. I can not go into the new year feeling like this. So, no I won't wait until the new year to start weight loss, I'm starting now. I will be working out atleast 5 times a week. There are NO excuses! If I can make time for everything else, I can make time to go to the gym. I just have to quit being lazy and do it! The hardest part about going to the gym is not the work out...it's getting there! *sigh*

Only thing to it, is to do it!!

I know I've come here saying I was starting over plenty of times and still fell back into my routine but it's like I can't hide behind it anymore. Plus I am not going to buy size 16 clothes anymore so I have to shrink. LOL.

I will be updating here daily, if not just for accountability to say if I've worked out or not.

Eating will be a challenge, but I know what it takes, I know what to do, now it's just time to FREAKIN DO IT!!

Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving.

Here's to the last month of the year, let's make it a GREAT one!!

That's harsh, sorry you had to go through that this weekend.  HUGS to you and have a good week!!

Yes, the brutal honesty of family members is a bitter sweet thing.  It's hard to hear, but when it motivates you to take action that's a great thing.  

It's great you're not waiting for the New Year.  I know you are going to kick hiney these last 31 days of the year!! 

Gosh, I hate that. I have an uncle that I had not seen in a few years, and the first thing he said when he saw me was, "wow, you.. sure.. have.. gotten.. taller." I knew exactly what he meant, but I just brushed it off. Its sad to say that I have missed my family reunion for the past 3 years because I do not want to hear it.

Anyway, keep your head up and good luck. 

 HEY WELL I AM GLAD YOU HAD A GREAT THANKSGIVING..BESIDES THE COMMENTS...HONEY PLEASE DONT FEEL BAD AND DON'T LET THIS AFFECT YOU. KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING. BASICALLY KEEP IT MOVING..I PROMISE YOU, WHEN YOUR SKINNY, THEY'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY.. I  HAVE COME TO REALIZE THATS HOW PEOPLE ARE. HAVE A GOOD WEEK!

HEIDI

I can't believe the fam said that to you! Just use it for motivation.  You can do this.  It's so hard this time of year.  I'm glad you're not waiting for the new year.

Are ya gonna post again?  LOL!
