Slow and Steady wins the Race

Hi!

Well, gonna jump right in there! I FINALLY did a work-out (Kick-boxing for 20 minutes with Denise Austin) I feel really good when I work out and I'm trying to get my mind wrapped around the reality that I am TIRED of being "SOFT" I have an athletic, muscular, N'Awlins creole- body type. I don't LOOK 300 #'s and THAT's where the danger lies, because I just look like a "thick-misses" with a LOT of "boobies". All my weight sits in the danger zone which is the chest area. I went to Lane Bryant and thought I had found some bra's to fit me (44/46- H) but they are STILL a little tight in the breast area.

I must make a commitment to lose this weight because I want to be here with my daughter and experience life with her. My mother left me (died from breast cancer when I was 18 years old) and I have missed a LOT of experiences that I would have loved to share with her. I feel that losing weight will allow me the opportunity to rid myself of something that could take me away from her too soon.

I would really like to put on an outfit and feel like I did when I was younger. Shoot! I KNOW I am STILL CUTE... but there is just SO MUCH OF ME to wrap that cuteness around. This weight makes my face look tired ALL THE DARN TIME! My lil' "squinty-eyes" look CLOSED when I smile cuz my cheeks push them way too close together! I just want to go back to a healthy and fabulous weight.

I'm lazy with exercise, but my goal this year is to banish self-doubt and self-depraving habits from my life. I really do love me, I've put a lot of work into freeing myself spiritually and emotionally from the abuse I survived during the past twelve years, now it's time to walk in the light of God and be a healthier, happier Rhonda.

Hopefully, others will join me on this post and we can support each other- but if not... I'm gonna figure this out on my own...ACTUALLY I'm gonna listen and let GOD guide me to success by submitting my will to Him and letting go of overeating.

I'm blessed as I come and as I go.
