The truth
I am tired of being fat!! Secretly I hope that one morning I will wake up and be happy with my body. Or I can hope that I would be like my beautiful sister and suddenly lose all the weight after I have a baby, But the reality is nothing is going to change unless I doing something about it. I am stepping WAY WAY out of my comfort zone and posting pictures of myself with my weight. I am hoping that this will motivate me to start changing the way I eat and exercise. I have always struggled with my weight since high-school and part of it has to do with my thyroid problems and trying to regulate it (still trying to do that) and part of it is that I love to eat and hate exercise! I am not going on a diet because as soon as I say that I am I want to eat everything in sight. I just need to limit my portions and start eating healthier. If only I didn't love food so much. Sometimes I wish I was more picky because then I would eat less (maybe). But the plain and simple fact is I love ALL food. Besides when you are a picky eater you miss out on all sorts of yummy goodness. I need to eat small healthy snacks before I get hungery and then just eat whatever I find. I gave myself a goal in October to lose 35lbs and so far that is going in the opposite direction. I have decided to give myself smaller goals in hopes that it will be more encouraging. So my first goal is to lose 5lbs. As a motivator I will not get on facebook until I am 5lbs. less. (starting tomorrow) I am also going to make a chart so that I can put in my weekly weight and check off when I exercise. I need to make use of my running shoes and Nike+. Heather you might have someone to run with again soon. So this is a start. I am hoping that putting myself out here like this will keep me in line. I really want to post another picture in a few months with some good results. I will post my running updates here once a week or so and how I am doing with my weight loss. I will try not to bore you with it too much but I think this will be good for me and keep me motivated. Not to worry though I will post pictures of the cutest little girl more often than my weight journey.

You are beautiful Brenda~ both inside and out. :) I'd love to go powere walking with you sometimes or on a regular schedule. I'm pretty flexible if you're up for it. :) Sorry I'm not much of a runner.
Brenda, I can totally relate. I have never been a skinny girl. I've gone from "This is me, and I have to accept it" to where I am now- I can't except this! I WANT to be thin!!! We should be accountable to each other and motivate each other! Although I must say when I saw your pics I was like- "What is she talking about? She looks great!!!"
My sister in law told me about T-Tapp, she had really good success. Most people loose a size in a month but you can loose up to 2. The best part is you don't have to change your diet and you only have to work out once a day for a 10-14 day "bootcamp" at only 15 min a day, then every other day until you reach your goal. I am on day one. I borrowed my sis' book and dvd. I'll keep you posted on how it works. I have to take pics too... I'll do it tomorrow.

Dude, you're the man to have to jonies to do this. Good luck on hooking it up. I know you can do it. You have skills!
Oh and I looked at your last post....holy crud that's a lot of scrap book pages! DANG!
If you want me to drag you outta bed, lemme know!
Also, if you want to use the pool to exercise, I am home most evenings, and I can play with em while you do it. Text me!!
good luck brenda!
WOW you are brave!! I can totally relate to you. I am usually the fattest girl in the room and HATE it. I recently started excersizing more and that has really helped my self esteem. It is a bit discouraging that the weight has not melted off yet but encouraging that everything fits different and better. I read books while using the eliptical machine... not hard to read while working out like one would think. It makes the time go by faster and has made it easier to push myself when I am not watching the clock. It is somthing that worked for me... best of luck!
Wow, you guys are awesome! Thanks for the encouragement! Can't wait to see some results. Even if it does only help me feel better and gain self-esteem. WOO HOO!!
You're my favoritest sister ever!!!!!
First I have to say that you are super brave, and confident. Secondly, I can only wish I could carry weight like you do. Honestly, you look great. You don't look overweight, or out of shape. You look good. Nonetheless, I think that it is awesome you are wanting to be healthier. A few things that I found that helps me is 1) I quit weighing myself and judge by how my clothes fit. The scale can be so misleading, and it just taughts me with it numbers. 2) I exercise and eat healthy M-F, but let the weekends be a time in which I don't think about eating a few cookies, or white bread, or pizza or any of that other good stuff. Joe started doing it my way and lost about 30 lbs! (he gained a bit a weight when I was pregnant). Anyway, you are totally awesome and I am going to miss you on facebook.
