Beginnings are always hard. And this beginning is no better, but we can do this. We can and will help each other achieve what we thought to be an impossible goal. Hey, I need your help as well! And what a better time to start then right now. Feel free to post your thoughts and achievements as we move forward on this journey.
We all have visions of what we want to look like. I know that I am aging myself, but I grew up in the age of the model Twiggy. She was paper thin, never seeing the other side of 100 pounds. I, on the other hand was built like a Piccasso model, bottom heavy with an ample bust. So you can see my younger vision of what I wanted and the actuality of what I was, was an impossible task to achieve.
I was starving myself, eating fewer than 1000 calories per day. This started my journey of self-loathing and basically starvation. I was obsessed with my weight. The scales were constantly going up and down. This continued most of my adult life, never feeling that I matched up to the Vogue models. Now I feel sorry for that younger version of me. The thin girl fighting her way out of this, what she thought to be, a fat body. I feel sorry for her, sorry for me.
I have come to realize nothing is wasted. Experiences lead to a better understanding of who we are and hopefully with this blog, we can share and I hope you feel comfortable enough to share your story as well.
This is a little background on me, now feel free to post your story. I will try to update each day little tips I have incorporated to make this year happen. I'm sure we will have our bad days...we are only human.
Talk to you tomorrow. I will then explain the title of this blog.
