just a very small sampling of some of the workout/diet/not so skinny girl crap I have bought
dear diary,
how in the world do I start a blog called diary of a not-so-skinny girl? what do I say? I guess I will start off with saying that I am fat. yes, fat. I have been since I can remember. I have a specific memory that comes to mind...
when I was younger, I was on the playground, the swings actually, when my weight somehow came up. my friend told me not to worry, that the weight would go away because it was "baby fat" and I had it because my mom "fed me too much baby food." hmm. If only it were that simple.
truth be told, I know why I am fat. I don't eat very well, I don't exercise and although I am a overall generally happy person...I eat when I am stressed. And I stress because I eat. does this sound familiar to anyone?
I have to mention that this blog is not one big pitty party. I am blessed with a wonderful family & friends and do love the life that I live. I just feel like it could be better. I worry about my health and know it's time to make a change. It's just so hard.
I have not decided how I am going to lose weight. I want to figure out how to not diet, eat better & get moving. I'll keep you updated on what I decide.
My hope is that this blog with help motivate me, keep me accountable and may even allow me to connect to some of you that have been or are not so skinny girls. We'll see how it goes.
xo,
me

Welcome to your journey.
Your transparency is beautiful.
Your blog design make my heart smile.
Happy day to you!
P.S. Jillian make me want to cry. Or get a wheelchair.
I could have written this post myself, it is so similar to my life.
I'm in my early 30's now and I'd really like to lose my excess weight for health reasons. My knees hurt, my cholesterol is high, and I am tired. Plus, I want to fit back into the clothes I wore in college.
Thanks for starting the blog. You have more courage than me. :D
I wish you all the best!
I think I've decided for myself that I won't be wrestling with my body anymore. Im not thin but Im healthy and that is going to be enough. Im working on accepting myself the way I am. I hope your future brings exactly what you want in life.
