Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
I'm dedicating this blog post to my mom because whenever I don't know if I can go on with my mission, I just look at her and see how far she's come and I see that I CAN do this.
My mom is .6 away from her goal weight, she's lost 90+ since she started weight watchers and I couldn't be more proud of her. She's my biggest inspiration, motivation, hero, best friend and cheerleader without even knowing it. Her strength seriously boggles my mind. She pretty much single handedly takes care of our family, has a full time job, cooks delicious dinners for everyone and still finds time to exercise and put her weight loss journey first. I would love nothing more than to grow up to be just like her.
This weeks results:
12/31/09
weight: 260
BMI: 39.5
3/11/10
weight: 235.4
BMI: 35.8
I was dreading weighing in today because I swore I was going to gain. I stepped on the scale and braced myself to see my leader give me a pity look, only to have her say "CHA-CHING" and whisper you're down 2 pounds! I need to have more confidence in myself, because I've stayed on point with weight watchers for 10 weeks now, and still I'm second guessing my success. When she said that I had lost 2 pounds, my first thought was: "I must not have been standing on the scale all the way or something." I couldn't just congratulate myself and see that all my hard work is paying off. Believing in myself is my biggest fault and I'm really trying to work on that, guess this weight loss journey is about losing more than the weight. I need to lose the self doubt, negative energy, and shyness.
For next week I'm aiming for losing 1.6 so I can get over 25 pounds lost AND hit my 10% at the same time! And my mom is determined to reach her goal weight this week!
So fingers crossed that next week is a week of celebration for us both.

A dream is a wish your heart makes...
Photo blog time!
Me at my start weight of 260
And me now..a little over 22 pounds lighter.
I honestly don't see a difference, but the dress I'm wearing is flowy and a little big on me..so maybe that's why.
I went to the Disney Princess exhibit at NOMA this past weekend with two of my friends and we had a mini photoshoot in City Park, and I just wanted to share some of the pictures with y'all.

You're having delusions of grandeur..
12/31/09
weight: 260
BMI: 39.5
3/4/10
weight: 237.4
BMI: 36.1
My weight loss tally is 22.6 now! I honestly cannot believe that I've managed to lose over 20 pounds since starting this journey. I finally feel like I can honestly do this and keep it up!
On Sunday I went to play Laser Tag with my friends for a birthday, and the whole day I was thinking of backing out simply because I was scared I wouldn't be able to fit in the vests. I mean those vests are aimed toward little kids, not overweight adults. When I voiced my concerns my two friends in the car with me reacted like I had just told them I had 3 heads. I couldn't help but think, am I really that delusional or are they just being good friends? I've been haunted by fear of not fitting into things. Going to theme parks, a supposed fun experience, was always mixed with anxiety. Would I be the person that is asked to leave the ride because I don't fit? I actually passed up an opportunity to go to Disney World for the first time a few summers ago because I was so scared I wouldn't be able to fit on the rides. And I almost considered not going to play Laser Tag because of my fear. Yet again I was faced with my being overweight hindering me from living my life. After my friends assured me that I would in fact fit in the vests, I went to the party and had so much fun that I'm seriously considering going there for my 21st birthday in April. Oh, by the way..the vest did in fact fit...with room to spare!
