Hello World! I'm Chubs!
To think back to a few years ago (about 5) when I was a healthy weight (and *gasp* had a bikini) really -- stinks! I had no problem wearing a bathing suit in front of others and I got to run around in shorts and tank tops.
Here I am, 5 years later, (a husband and 2 kids later) and I am the fattest I have ever been in my life. It's not at all remotely cute. I am chubs!
My 10 year high school reunion is coming up and I am debating going. Granted I would like to see some of my old friends, but at 204lbs? Hellll no! I mean, I know not everyone is as skinny as they once were in high school (not that I ever was a stick) but still, I'd like to look semi-healthy!
I imagine my reunion will be sometime in July. That means I have about 6 months to lose some weight. If I lost 1.5 a week until July (roughly 20 weeks) then that is about 30 lbs before my reunion. That would place me at AROUND 174 which isn't fabulous but I guess it's better than nothing.
155 has always been my 'comfortable' fat weight. It's the weight I have been for most of my adult life. So needless to say, something must be done. But I don't want to just be comfortably fat. I want, for once, to truly be happy with where I am at. I would like to be in my 120's (129 is perfectly fine) while I am still in my 20s.
I turn 28 on February 27th so that gives me a little over two years. Here I go!!
