Negative into a Positive

A few weeks ago I attended a birthday gathering for my bestie and while I was insecure out of my mind I decided to try a different kind of style, and I did. I had this whole image of myself rockin my skinny jeans and my trendy top and THEN people post pictures! and I am thrown for a loop. Like really? I was in extreme denial. These picture were a very rude awakening BUT instead of turning this in to a woe is me, I am a big girl yadda yadda yadda I am turning it into a positive! Motivation to keep up with what I am doing. Motivation to make healthy choices. Motivation to get to the gym. Motivation to go to a social event and look how I feel (a million bucks!) This is a good picture, to remind me where I dont want to be and later on to remind me how far I have come.

I blog here because

• I like to blog.
• I love the few encouraging comments & tips I get here.
• I like the accountability, even if no one reads.
• The design is too cute not to blog here.
• I like to look at what I consume on a daily basis as a whole.
• I like to vent, when weight loss gets tough.
• It motivates me.

And even though you might see me oogling other peoples yummies DOES NOT mean I am falling off the wagon! Sure I may be a tad jealous BUT maybe I just need a lil more encouragement =D
