...it's just the fifth blog I'm made. Surely, once I get to seven, I will be a serial blogger.
Seriously.
Okay, okay, I'm stop with the punniness. And no, this is NOT a blog feature stripping, so if you were confused by my title, don't be. It's about the ugly battle I have fought for ages.
My weight.
I've been overweight since middle school. Having very wide hips given to me genetically just exasperates the fact that very closely resemble an obese pear. Two kids later and ugh... I'm stuck.
Literally. I've been fluxing five-ten pounds above and below 230 since Emily was three months old. Note, I gained just shy of 50 pounds when I was pregnant with her, lost the first twenty easy as pie, and then... nothing. Up and down, up and down. Ethan's baby weight came right off (after all, ten of the fifteen was all baby!), but my body seems to have adjusted to 230 and wants to stay there.
If you've followed my journey, I have stopped and started weight loss a gazillion times since then. But I will be truthful - I hate counting. Points. Calories. Carbs. Grams. I don't want to focus on food. I'm waaay to obsessive in my personality. I don't need to train for a marathon, though I'm so disappointed in myself that I ran my first 5K in December, but once done, I've only been out of a jog maybe half a dozen times. I just freaking want to eat controlled portions three times a day with maybe a snack, an occasional dessert, drink my water, and exercise regularly.
So this blog is to help reinforce this journey, to hold me accountable. I want to post at least weekly, maybe more, maybe less. I'm also a working mom with two kids, so we'll see.
Wish me luck!
