i.am.FAT
So when I saw that one of my favorite blogs to follow was starting a McFatty Monday challenge, I decided to do two things - join up & start a blog of my FATass 2 FABulous journey. So you'll have to bear with me until I get this whole bloggin' thing figured out. It's been a long time (circa 2006) since college HTML class.
But I digress...a little background before I go showing you my half naked FATty mcFATty photos....
I live in the Midwest about 3 hours from Chicago. I'm married to a wonderful, 100% supportive husband who stands behind me in WHATEVER I do....or in my case, shove down my throat. He is very active, playing hockey 2+ times a week. We had our beautiful bouncing baby daughter last June. I work from home as a manager for a home based business. My husband and I are very sucessful. I've built my business into a six-figure income for my family, but I CAN'T SEEM TO GET THIS FRICKING WEIGHT OFF!
I have so self control. I have no determination. I have NO DRIVE for weight loss. I wish I could say it's all because of Juliet (my daughter), but it's not. I've been FAT forever. I'm not kidding, kids. FOR-FRICKING-EVER! I look back at my preschool photos and I WAS FLIPPIN' FAT in preschool! I had some "thinner" moments - like being a 10/12 my soph. year of high school, but that's where it ends. I was a 14/16 through high school, 16/18 in college, and even *gulp* bought a pair of 20's in college. The 5 months before I met my husband in the fall of 2005 I had a 4 month stint of exercise and eating correctly that caused about 30 pounds to fall off and I felt SO GOOD....then enters my sweet hubby, Jeff...and the 30 pounds plus 40 more packed on. We were married in October 2007 and went to Punta Cana over Christmas that year for our Honeymoon...I will be filling you in on probably the worst honeymoon in history at a later post that does deal with my weight. Check back in later!
HOWEVER...I need help. I need help to get this weight off! I have tried several times here and there since last June when I had my daughter but this is it. Period. So THANKS BLAIR for having mcFATty Monday to jumpstart my weight loss for REAL this time!!
So here goes...
All 254 pounds of glorious FAT. At 5'4", that puts my BMI at 43.7.
O-M-FRICKING-G!
So...there I am! Without make-up, without my hair did, in my sports bra and undies.
And guess what people? I am going to Cancun on April 11th with my husband! So I have a timeline and I have a FATass. Hence the FATass 2 FABulous name!
Every 2 weeks I am going to take photos just like I did above. Everyday I am going to blog on what I ate and the exercise I did. I am planning to do the SouthBeach. I bought a really nice treadmill about 5 months ago and have The Shred from pre-pregnancy so I should be good!
Wish me luck...and keep me accountable people!
Good luck, I hope you do really well and stick with it! I was browsing Blair's McLinky and found your blog. You are SO brave to put those pictures up, I wouldn't be able to stomach seeing myself (stretchmarks and all, thanks to a baby 3 weeks ago) in my panties and bra. Good for you! You're going to do great!
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE AMAZING. & brave. & I admire the pants off you.
