I'm a new follower to all three of these amazing women! Lori shared her touching story over at Mama Laughlin's yesterday and it took a lot of courage. She overcame her struggle and she looks amazing! When Hubby Jack advertised this link up, I knew it was exactly what I needed so I headed on over to check them out and found some awesome new ladies and blogs to stalk follow!
Motivation?
Yep, I need that!
Accoutability?
Need that too!
I posted yesterday about starting my weight loss journey for last and final time. Besides feeling bad that my oh-so-sexy fiance got stuck with this, I didn't add any other reasons that I wanted to lose the weight. It's not just for him, it's for me and it's for us. I was happier 40 lbs ago. I was in love with my life. I need to be there again.
My Motivation:
1. To love what I see when I look in the mirror.
2. To take all the cute engagement pictures.
3. To look gorgeous is my wedding dress.
4. To not be frustrated and heartbroken when I go shopping and nothing fits.
5. To want to go out on the weekends and not stay hidden in my house.
6. To be in love with myself and my life again.
7. This dress
I found it on pinterest and bought it even though it doesn't fit. It was gorgeous!
8. To have more energy
9. To be healthier
10. To be a better wife to my husband
There is a shit ton of reasons but these are the most important. I'm so glad that there are so many amazing women and success stories here in blog land. It's not gonna be easy but now I know it's possible.

Thank you for that encouragment, Brooke! It's gonna be really hard but I know with all the love and support from all yall wonderful ladies, I will be able to do this! I'm so glad you checked me out!
DeleteI heart the dress too!! I know Mama Laughlin put a pair of jeans in front of her when she ran. Maybe you can put the dress somewhere and it will motivate you to keep moving. I have thought about doing this, but I think my husband might wonder why I have a pair of jeans (that I can't fit into yet) on our TV stand, LOL. To be honest, it is because I am scared that I will never fit into them. So I am glad you took that step, You are ready!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the support Jessica and thank you for checking me out! That woman (Mama Laughlin) is crazy awesome! I have a ton of cute dresses and somehow the one I've never even attempted to put on is my favorite and I will be able to slip it on and walk out ready to face the world with a smile. I will not let this dress go to waste! Thank
