STEP ONE: ADMITTING THE PROBLEM.
I tryed to post this yesterday, so today is day two of this hell....
I am going to address something here that I have yet to do, because it’s hard to admit… I am FAT. I used to always say, I am chubby, but I have to come to the realization and say it. I am FAT.
Weight has always been a problem for me. Ever since I was a little girl I was always chubby and chubby I had been till up to about 7 months ago. I am only 5’1 and I weigh 172. I usually never weighed less than 155, but when you are firm and toned, you don’t look bad, but once you stop the exercise and you keep on gaining weight, you start to develop the love handles and the once firm body begins to turn flabby and to me just horrible. I will add to the fact that I don’t exercise the following, I LOVE SODA AND SWEETS and I married the only other person in the world who loves that stuff even more than I do. I used to be able to quit sweets and soda for months at a time with just determination. It used to be easy. I am not sure how many times I said I would stop the sweets, the soda, the late night dinners last year months before the wedding and after. It never used to be so difficult.
But after being so disgusted with myself and letting the whole Christmas season pass (Here in Puerto Rico we celebrate three kings day on January 6) I set a date on which I would start eating better, this meant no potato chips with my lunch, low fat milk with my cereal, no more rice and beans at 7:30 at night and certainly no more soda and sweets. Today is my first day and it hasn’t been so bad, but give me a couple of days more and I will be sure to be posting the Hell that living without the good stuff is.
STEP ONE: ADMITTING THE PROBLEM.
Wish me luck; I have 40 pounds to lose.
