So, I started this blog out talking about what went WRONG yesterday, but it really doesn't matter. I got on the scale and much to my surprise, I am DOWN TEN POUNDS!!! 10! How awesome is that?! That's with no drugs, no fad diets, strictly from eating healthy and exercising! I'm so proud of myself! It only motivates me to keep on!
And the support I already have is amazing! I have the best friends and family cheering me on. Everyone of you guys that read this and send me an awesome motivational text, message or comment just makes me want to push myself harder!!! I know it's only 10 lbs, but its 10 lbs i'll NEVER see again. EVER. And that excites me! Actually seeing results and seeing that scale go down makes me want to jump up and down. I'm really doing this, y'all. It may be a slow road but I sure as hell didn't get in this situation quickly...I didn't just wake up one day fat...
The texts above are from my sweet boyfriend, Bruce. He told me something awesome last night. As we were laying together watching some stupid storage show or alligator show or swamp show or something he says to me "you aren't fat. you never were fat. Its ALL in you're head. I'm happy that you've lost a few pounds, lose more if you want to. Lose as much as it takes for you to finally see how beautiful you really are. I can tell you every day, but you have to see it for yourself." :) He's so awesome. It's such a huge change for me to have someone by my side who supports me, appreciates me and cheers me on. He's my biggest fan. He's in MY corner and I couldn't be happier. :)
So, 10 down however many to go, but one things for sure... they ARE going! :) YAY!
This picture was taken yesterday morning.
Awesome Wendy! You look great and you have a wonderful man in Bruce. Every woman deserves to feel beautiful inside and out! He is so right that you have to be the one to be happy with yourself. Almost every woman I know struggles with "being/feeling beautiful". Society has made us double check the mirror and lower our self-esteem. The mirror should really be the last place we look but I am guilty as well. The other day I was putting on a little makeup, I really don't wear that much, and Doug said you look better without all that stuff. He said I look older with it on....but being the person I am...I feel like I look better with a little something on my face. I wish sometimes that I had more "man genes" so I really wouldn't care about all that stuff! Thanks for sharing your journey with us because it does help. ...I enjoy reading it...keep up the good work :)
ReplyDeleteAlways remember, you aren't fat, you HAVE fat. It isn't who you are. It's just something you have collected through the years that you are now choosing to let go of. Best of luck to you! You are doing a great job! Gorgeous picture!
ReplyDeleteGirl I love to read your post. You have the most amazing outlook and so dang funny! I can only hope one day I will have the motivation you have. I absolutely HATE healthy foods....haha. Maybe some of it's a mind thing....reading some of the foods you have been eating I thought ain't no way I can eat that nasty stuff. LOL I am also a bread lover AND a sweets lover. If only I can find things I really like that's good for me ON A TO GO MENU! :-) Anyway, just wanted you to know that you do inspire me to want to do better for my kids and my self. Hope you have a great day!!!
ReplyDeleteWendy, you look amazing! Great job! I can see the sparkle in your eyes! Be proud of yourself!
