I've been trying to do Weigh-In Wednesday for weeks now but I have somehow been too busy at work (where I blog from) or I forget or get distracted. Well today's the day I start my weight loss journey again for the last time!
I've stuggled with my weight for a loooooooong time. There was a time when I thought I was fat and I wasn't. I weighed 210 lbs and I got down to 185 lbs before I met Don and I was happy. But then I quit working part time at Bath and Body Works and started sittin at home, running our business and drinkin mountain dew like it was the only way to get into heaven. I thought all my clothes were shrinking but the reality of it was that I was getting fat.
Since then, I avoid mirrors. I HATE what I see looking back at me. I have no recent pictures of me because I avoid cameras too. Even though we still have a pretty healthy sex life, it has suffered. We used to be like rabbits. He couldn't keep his hands off of me, and these days, well, I just don't feel sexy anymore. He still tells me Im beautiful but I don't radiate the confidence that he fell in love with. I feel bad because he got stuck with this. I'm not just doin it for him, but I need to be happy with myself again.
The Number.
Tailgating at a Luke Bryan concert - I cried when I saw this for the first time.

ReplyDeleteHi Amber!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to the blog world and just saw your blog via the Fab to Fit Friday linkups. I read this post and I wanted to cry because I feel the same way right now! I'm just starting my own weight loss journey (havent gotten the courage to write a post about it yet) and hearing that other women are going through it too makes me so motivated to just get my butt in gear! We can do it!
