Priorities

So, our computer went down almost 2 weeks ago. I haven't been able to get online to write in my blog and it's been driving me crazy! My last post was titled frustrated because my weight loss was going slow. Since then I've lost 7 pounds and 2 inches around my waist! In the past I would obssess over it and since then I've stopped. It did no good and just aggravated me. I've become more relaxed and it seems that when I relax the weight comes off quicker. And I'm all for that! There is a pair of pants that I can no longer wear because they fall off! Even though I have a goal of losing this weight by September I'm not going to worry about this "deadline" I have. My health comes first and that's what I'm going to concentrate on. Not a pant size. I'm done trying to look like a victoria's secret model (snicker). The average woman in the U.S. wears a size 12 and the average woman is made to feel like crap. We're supposed to look like friggin' stick figures in order to be accepted. And it makes me sick. I know I'm not the only one to feel like that. So I've decided to be happy with what I look like at the present time. And each time I lose a few pounds, I'll remind myself that it's for my health. And I'll rejoice! Oh hey, let me give a quick shout out to my girl Kelly from work who has been reading my blog and bugging me to update it! Love ya Kel!

I'm with you, I was a size 8 in high school, and now I'm a size 12 after the two kids have been born. Who gives people the right ti tell me I have to be a certain size to be beautiful and accepted. It really burns me up!!!
