Why in the world do I have a blog? They give those thing to anyone now a days huh? lol
HI! My name is Veronica! And I've lost a CRAP load of weight. 140 pounds to be exact. The picture above is one of my before and afters!
I was BIG, FAT, CHUBBY, LARGE, BIG BONED, THICK, you name it... my entire life and just felt like the outside didn't match the inside. I felt completely held back by my weight. I felt others treated me differently due to my size and had to deal with SOOO many stigmas! And not to mention how CRUEL people are! Man, it is ROUGH out there for a big girl!
I now have a blog because I'm sooooo sick of seeing articles in magazines that show one healthy recipe and a single article on how wonderful a weight loss journey can be! Yes, it can!!!! I AM PROOF! But I am here to keep it real by letting you know the ugly, lovely truth about weight loss! According to me anyway! hahah
I just wanted to create a place where people could come and laugh, scream, share, yell and post about weight loss! A place that could HELP someone who is just starting and totally LOST! Or help someone who is soooo stuck in a PLATEAU they are about to quit! Or help that girl who has lost a bunnnch of weight and still feels FAT!
WE ALL HAVE INSECURITIES about ourselves! I created a blog to keep it real while keeping it optimistic! To whine about the calories in WINE while drinking a glass of it! To get tips that AREN'T impossible and recipes that DON'T take a master chef to prepare!
We have to live life realistically while trying to change it! THIS should be a lifestyle change you can STICK TO! Not a diet that you can't keep on forever. It's time to transform our BODIES, our MINDS and SOULS people!!!
I started this journey originally for my family, specifically my son and my boyfriend. I wanted to be a kick BUTT mom to my son, who is my world, by not having ANY limits on LIFE. And of course for my boyfriend as well, bless his soul, having to deal with my insecurities was a full time job for him back then!
BUT what I learned is that YOU NEED to do this for YOU! And the world WILL fall into place along with it!
So let's DO THIS!
This is awesome!!! I am sooooo excited you decided to do this blog and I will be your first follower on this online journey just as I followed the real one! You deserve to look amazing and feel amazing because you DEFINITELY earned it!!! And I definitely need to make the change so I will be following along till I get rid of this pesky weight!! Ugh, how I hate it... But I won't lie, I have been feeding the monster so I can't act like it's shocking. It's about choices and I certainly have a track record for making terrible ones! But I can choose really well too so I will definitely try!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you did this!
