First Post

As I sit down to write this FIRST post I am a bundle of nerves. Every emotion that could run through me right now is well....running! lol I am definitely excited about the journey that I am about to start but I'm also very scared. I'm worried! I'm happy! I'm nervous! There are so many thoughts running through my head so all I ask to those who are following....to those who are reading...is that you bear with me.

The concept for this blog came yesterday as I was sitting in church. The speaker spoke on "Being a GOOD person" Now one may ask what does that have to do with weight loss? Well.....not a thang! But as I sat there my heart and mind began to wonder and I suddenly was hit with an epiphany. I wanted to change but I wanted a complete change. I not only wanted a physical change but I also wanted a mental change....a spiritual change! I wanted to be better...I wanted to be "different"

Now please do not confuse this and think that in me wanting to be "different" that I am/was somehow not satisfied or unhappy with how I am. That's not true. I KNOW what I am. I am a beautiful, intelligent plus size black woman. I know that, I LOVE that, I accept that. Ive always been what society deems as "big" Never ever in my 28 years have I been a size 2 so I learned at an early age to accept my butt, hips, breasts...to accept and love me and I do! My journey is not because I view myself as fat....my journey is because I am realistic. I would like to see my 8 year old grow up, attend college, get married and have kids and I realize that being "obese" could hinder that. The weight loss was actually the last thing on my mind while at church...I was more concerned with the mental/spiritual aspect of the change but since I'm changing...heck I matter as well go all out with it right?

So last night I rounded a group of people and we decided to do the Flat Belly Diet. I also received the INSANITY workout program last night thanks to family member and decided to try that. So for the next 60 days I will blog my journey. I KNOW that it will be hard....thats what scares me but what makes me smile is that for the first time in my life I'M MOTIVATED and I do NOT want to quit.

All I ask from the readers of this blog is for your support. Criticize if you must(side eye) lol but I ask for your feedback. I am a quitter. Honey if I get to a size 12 I might forget all about it and that's NOT my goal. I actually want to go through with the entire process for the entire 60 days!!!! So please commment...

1Love,
KL
