Jessica Up until today, I never had an issue with my size. I have always felt comfortable in my own skin, but something happened today to change my mind. Maybe it was the fat roll edging it’s way up around the top of my blue jeans or how out of shape I felt wandering around Hobby Lobby… or maybe the fact that for once in my life, I bent over and was out of breath coming back up. I have been trying to come up with ways to motivate myself to lose weight, but every time I get pumped about it something drags me right back down.
And then I read Jenn’s blog and think, why can I not get some of her motivation? I am so incredibly proud of her for her weight loss, yet so completely envious of her motivation. She is doing it by watching her food intake and exercising- not by taking apidexin or other weight loss supplements.
I think it would be easier to want to lose weight if I had a husband that would willingly jump on the bandwagon, but then again I could be wrong. Either way, I am going to have to do something about it. I hate not feeling comfortable in my own skin and I hate how frumpy I look now a days because of this excess weight. I do not want to lose a ton of weight, but enough to help me drop down 2 pant sizes if anything! Plus, I do not want to be that mom. You know, the one who sits on the sidelines watching her children play because she has gotten to large to lift a leg.

I know the feeling. I feel the exact same way. I don’t need to be super model skinny. I just want to be healthy. I find that lately all I ever think about is my weight but I never have the motivation. I say “Oh, I will exercise in the morning” or “I’ll start my diet on Monday” – NEVER happens. Let’s motivate each other!
I get that way from time to time. I don’t really care what I look like so long as I am healthyish and feel comfortable in my skin. But I usually find that make small changes in my diet really helps — not being like, NO FUN FOOD AT ALL, but finding healthy delicious stuff for most of the time and occasionally having a cheesburger or cake or something.
Good luck!
