Day 1 - Ready, Set, Go!

Ok so this is Day 1 - I suppose I should start out by informing you about myself. I am by no means some skinny chick who needs to lose a few pounds and therefore considers herself fat. I am fat. Plain and simple. I have been fat since puberty kicked in, gave me some awesome boobs, and a big stomach, with a nice butt. That was 13-years ago. I am now 25 and more then ready to remove the love handles that I am not fond of, and the butt that is no longer cute (the boobs, well they can stay.) Full disclosure? I am 5"4, weigh as of this morning 171 lbs, am a size 14 (if I'm being truthful and not striving to shove myself into my jeans, I'm actually a size 16), and my bra size has become a 38C. Cup size has stayed the same since I was about 15...whatever the other number stands for has progressively increased since that age, and I know that's not a good thing (although the guys might think so).

Why the sudden desire to NOW start worrying about my weight, health, and body image? Simple, I'm fed up enough now to actually want to do something about it. Plus, I've recently started living with my boyfriend and am more conscious of my entire body image then I was before. Yes, yes, he loves me no matter what, but come on girls you gotta be with me on this...I'd rather he see me in a sexy teddy from Victoria Secret that looked absolutely amazing on me, then wearing a pullover nightgown from WalMart. I'm not dissing WalMart by any means, but when it comes to sex and sexy VS has it down.

Outlining my weight loss strategy - 1) Eat healthier (no more morning D and D trips on the way to work). 2) Find at least a few minutes a day to exercise (to this point exercise is all but a foreign word to me). 3) Exercise without collapsing and having to be rushed to the hospital. 4) This may be extremely controversial to some of you out there...but I am doing it anyways. I will be taking diet pills along with the above steps to help 'speed' along my weight loss. 5) Keep up with this blog....outside of losing the actual weight, this will probably be the hardest for me to do...I was never good at the journal writing in class.

Rewards for achieving goals:
Loss of 5 pounds: Nice job, but not worthy of much - keep going.
Loss of 15 pounds: Now we're getting somewhere - reward, new pair of jeans (if applicable).
Loss of 20 pounds: Shoes anyone!?!?!?!
Loss of 25 pounds: Hopefully fitting into some amazing dress and going out to a fabulous place with the bf.
Loss of 30 pounds: Hello Victoria Secret!!! Shopping spree of lingerie and nighties!!!
Loss of 40 pounds: Bikini and a beach with my buds (never happened before...would be so amazing!)

Can i just say that using pills is not the way to go... I used pills a few years ago and I lost weight and I looked hott... but when I got off of the pills I just got big again. I understand you want to loose weight, just do it the right way. You can change you appetite... thats really not hard to do.

Ill write more later!
