I've been a fluctuator (is that a word?) for most of my life. I finally came down to a happy weight for me (i don't care to be skinny, just healthy) and then went through a rough patch in my life which took me to gain it all back :( After 2 years at my current weight I finally said enough I need to do this for me. I posted the day I started on my blog to be accountable of it. I am 10lb down and feel good about it. I know I have a long way to go but with everyone's support in the blog world and my personal life, i'm gonng do this! Good luck to you!Suzanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15342466077329724463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312969817845449046.post-37561488168168564282012-01-21T23:10:14.460-08:002012-01-21T23:10:14.460-08:00I am always thinking that I should be more sharing on my blog also, and it's encouraging to see someone really do it! I am so impressed by your upbeat attitude and honesty. I'm in the life-long-issue category when it comes to weight as well. And while I know that fitness is a really popular and important thing, I have to admit that right now I am not in a place that it is a priority for me.. (gasp, I know). I have no interest in getting larger or being totally ignorant or self-destructive, just in not having food and kitchen be areas of my life that are worrisome and add more anxiety to my already uptight way of thinking. Good for you for going to the gym and really feeling motivated toward it! I'm anxious to learn more about you for real and hope I can get the guts to do the same! :)Skyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12242181268913506439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312969817845449046.post-57807892131147618862012-01-21T19:05:19.325-08:002012-01-21T19:05:19.325-08:00I love that you are happy and confident with the body you've been given and that your main goal is to be healthy and strong. I wish every woman could have those two things! I am always trying to lose a few pounds. But I've found that I am so much more forgiving of my body than I was before having babies (I have four kiddos) Because even though I may want to drop 10 pounds I can be thankful for what my body is capable of doing; running and playing and birthing babies and caring for my family. It really is a huge blessing.Alexishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14279559453994062069noreply@blogger.com
