How did I get this way?

    Looking back on family photos and pictures of me as a kid, teenager and adult, I am always shocked at how pretty I looked at times that I thought I was "fat and ugly". I have never been a bean pole. I have however, been much thinner then my present day! I have had people make all kinds of excuses for me: it was when you went through puberty, you started gaining when your dad moved back, or you just got busy with school and stuff.

    I know why I got this way, I know whose fault it is.. MINE! I gained the weight because instead of pushing myself I gave up. I got this way because I made choices to eat more than I should and exercise for less than I needed to. I became who I am because of things I DID! Not the bullies in school, not my family, not because I got "busy" but because I MADE CHOICES.

     This may sound like self hate talk but it really isn't it is self realization. I will also lose the weight because of choices I MAKE... not because I see the trainer once a week or because I have support. It is because I WILL make time to workout and I will STOP putting JUNK into my body. This is the only body I will get. I HAVE to make the right CHOICES! It isn't anyone but my responsibility. I am not saying that the support and the trainer won't help. I am just stating that this is MY RESPONSIBILTY and that no one else can do this for me, or for you. We have to want this for ourselves and we have to make the CHOICES we need to in order to make this time the time that we become a success story! WE CAN DO THIS! I AM DOING THIS!

ALSO, I made a facebook page!!
