Confession

I am going to make a shocking confession right here and right now, and I know my husband won't like it. But here goes...I currently weigh 10 pounds more than I did when I got married! ACK! I know, it sucks, but it's true. Now before all of you go and give me sympathy and tell me it's OK, stop and really think about that! I have only been married for a little over 4 years. That is more than 2 pounds a year! There are a lot of things I could say to justify this IE: the baby, growing older, the fact that you are always super skinny when you get married, etc. But that still doesn't change the truth, which is, I AM 10 POUNDS HEAVIER NOW THAN WHEN I GOT MARRIED!!!

I really don't like this fact, and the fact that there is no fiction to it. It is what it is, 10 pounds of the truth. So...I am getting serious. I was reading my own post about the healthy snacks I like to eat and I came to a moment of clarity. I really do like to eat healthy and the reason I don't eat healthy sometimes is because I am lazy. Seriously, it is so much easier to pop open a bag of Cheetos and a can of coke than it is to chop up veggies and fresh squeeze some orange juice! How lame is it that I am willing to sacrifice my health, my body, and my overall satisfaction with life, for junk food and T.V.?!?!?!

So I am going to do it. I am going to knuckle down and do it! I made it through yesterday so healthy that my bowels didn't know what to do with them selves! My butt was like the exhaust pipe on an 87 Chevy! Poor Michael must have slept with a gas mask on because I really don't know how he would have survived otherwise! But I know that if I keep this up I will get what I want. How simple is that? Work for something and you will get it. It's not like, work for something and if your boss really likes you he will consider you for the promotion but you will be up against three other candidates! It is what it is. Work hard, eat right, lose weight! That. Is. It. Cut and dry! I love it!

Now, I don't want any pity or "you are crazy" comments. I don't want people to tell me that I am skinny and that I don't need to lose weight! I want people to lash out and tell me that I should get rid of that gallon of milk+extra that is jiggling on my butt! I want people to say, "YOU CAN DO IT!" and, "YOU GO GIRLFRIEND! HOLLA!" I want you to support me like a high school football coach. Maybe a little yelling and butt slapping and just tough love!

So! This is my confession. I have put it out there for all to see and read and hear. I am 10 pounds fatter than I used to be and I am going to lose it. The good old fashioned losing it way. Just watch me! ;)
