All of these photos have been taken in the last year. I plan on posting more photos throughout my journey to my goal weight, but here's me now.

I have set a date and time to go back to weight watchers. This Wednesday Jan. 13th during my lunch. I have all the food necessary to make it happen, I believe I have the attitude, or at least a bit closer to the right attitude, and the means in which to work out withOUT a reasonable excuse. I keep looking at myself and those AWFUL pictures that we all have and hide so we never have to see the truth about our weight (that I've now been strategically placing around the house and work to keep me on track). I really do feel like this time is different. I'm now 22 years old, heading towards my bachelors with a subject that I ABSOLUTELY love, and I'm finding time to do what I love to do (scrapbooking). Right now I just feel like it's all attainable. This morning I weighed myself and I weighed 163.4. I hope that some where in a year or more I'll be around 123.4 which is the healthy weight for my height. I am considered morbidly obese. Words I never thought I'd say or admit, but there it is. I need to loose 140 lbs to be healthy. I can do it, and I'm willing to do it.

I did notice that the one thing in my mind that has really (and finally) sunk in is that I'm not on a diet, I'm trying to eat healthy. I think about fresh foods, and how I have to cook every night, or close to it and that I ALWAYS need fresh vegetables and fruits with every meal. I've really had an overhaul on my thinking process and I'm surprised. I think it was all thanks to My Pink Stampers, Pink Loser blog. I just saw how she could do it, and how happy she seems now and I decided that it was something I truly wanted and will have to work on in order to get it. I know it's going to be hard and tedious, and I might hate the food I'm eating but I know I'll feel better and wake up more refreshed and overall be happier in life. I hope that during this time period my story will inspire you to do something about your life and change whatever it is that is holding you back. I wish YOU all the best of luck!
