Here is the most recent picture of me taken at the "Hedley" concert Saturday night that a friend took of me(actually it was in the bathroom as you can tell behind me with the hand sanitizer!)hehe
But my point, don't I look happy?
This is what change does! So give it your best people!
Comes back to you 100x:-)
-----------------------------------------------------
Good Monday morning to you all!! And what a wonderful morning it is.
Let me start off by saying, I had a great weekend!! I had a busy Saturday, went to see one of my favorite canadian bands(Hedley), and also saw some friends that night that I hadnt seen in a long time. Actually, some I hadnt seen since before I even started this transformation! So you can imagine how they were when seeing me..well lets just say really surprised!!
It was alot of fun, however I felt pretty tired Sunday. Hey, you know, even though I hadnt drank, I sure felt like i did on Sunday:-(... as if I was dealing with a hangover! hehe
I am not used to going out until late anymore, and I came home around 2:45am that night! Crazy! Brought back alot of memories though I tell you!:-)
Back in the day I would go out with friends and sometimes I would come home around 4am...but keep in mind I didn't have kids, not to mention no husband(sometimes they need more fuss over than kids..hehe)so I would have the option of sleeping in until 11am or 12..lol
So big difference. Now tired or not..up you go! Yelling kids waiting for you! haha
So, I want to talk a little about how I went shopping this weekend(looking for an outfit for hedley concert)
I just wanted to tell you about how great it felt to be able to fit in sizes 16-18! You know, i had been in 26-28 for such a long time, those were the ONLY numbers I ever saw or got used to seeing really. And now, to go to the other racks and start having more options, its been a good thing.
I personally don't like shopping, I don't think I will ever like shopping, but, it was nice for that big change in size. I had a hard time before, they didn't have much for me in the past. Not to mention, I got so used to being in jogging pants all the time.
(THAT was the only piece of clothing that would be loose enough, would hide my bulge underneath, and made it more convenient because they stretched! When being big, its all about convenience!)
You never want to stress, so you get the quickest, easiest thing. Well...that life is slowly going away. This weekend, I wore a regular pair of pants, regular top, no oversized clothes to hide anything....what i was basically is what people saw!! And was I ever proud!
And I was glowing! Smiling alot, I loved it. I loved being ME! To feel comfortable for once with myself, to feel confident..to feel pretty again!!
This has been such a journey already, and even though you do go through some downs, those of which I have never lied to you all about because you are the first to hear about them here, in the end, the up days to all this WAY SURPASSES the downs! I just wish everyone could really see, that we all ABSOLUTELY have the power to change, if change is needed! Anyone can do it and conquor their problems...and if you are reading this blog, and need to change something in your life that is in your way, that might be something that is bringing you down, and, is not allowing you to be the best possible person you can be..(not only weight loss but anything), just face it, stop pushing it to the curb and leaving it, stop allowing yourself to pretend that things are fine in your life, when really they arent! The best part of all this for me, was admiting that I let myself go the way I had, not only to myself but to everyone, and to face it head on and begin fixing it, one step at a time!!
It was hard when i started this blog, to tell the world how big i was in numbers. I mean afterall, it was always my biggest secret. One I held so tight that no one would ever know. But once I admitted, everything was so much easier. Just because people might have certain problems, it is not the end of the world for us. Although it might seem like it at the time, really when you look at life and the big picture, what are we waiting for?? We all should really be the best person we can be all the time, we should all be striving for that! We have all the right to live a happy and healthy life, so why cheat yourself out of that? Doesn't make any sense to me, why i ever let all those years pass, feeling sad inside, crying to myself some nights. I really do wish i would have started this a long time ago. But for some reason, life wanted me to do it now i guess. For the rest of you, there is no time like the present! Doesn't matter how old you are, or young in that case..GO AHEAD, and defeat it, ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Ok enough jabbering:-))))
