Good news y’all,

i went shopping at Old Navy.  I usually buy jeans there.  I was so happy and AMAZED to see that I am one size smaller in jeans!!!!!  UNBELIEVABLE!!! It doesn’t even feel like I have been dieting and exercising that long.  I started in December and stumbled A WHOLE LOT since then.  Hooray for this small victory!!!

okay, why am i so surprised?  the extreme surprise probably comes from the fact that i thought i couldn’t do it.  Without thinking about it, i underestimated myself.  I accepted i would always be obese as fact.  I thought my body would keep looking like it does and by the time I become a grandma I would ride on one of those scooters rather than walking.  There was nothing i could do about it. 

I was so wrong to have such a low opinion of myself and what i can do.  So no, losing weight isn’t magic.  But my life is a lot more magical now that I am committed to eating healthy foods and getting a healthy amount of activity!!!  Overweight, here i come!!!

p.s. i am so excited for my upcoming weigh in this saturday!!!

i just found this site yesterday.  That seems like really good timing for me.  I just joined a gym in December.  They gave me an assessment at the gym.   i was immensely SHOCKED to find that I am obese!  WHAT?!?!  My BMI is considered obese.  So i have to lose an inch off my waist and i don’t know how many pounds to be overweight.  WOOOO-HOOO overweight, here i come. 

Wow, i never thought the overweight category would be a victory.  But i want to count every baby step of success along the way.  i think if i keep getting support from my friends, online and face to face, i will reach my ultimate goal!!!

i do NEED buddies.  Buddyslimmers, can you help a girl out?
