An Awakening

If you are new to my blog, then let me tell you that this is not a new venture for me. I have been down this road before and I even wrote religiously in a blog called myroadto125.blogspot.com. That was back in 2009. I lost weight and only had about 31 lbs to go. I gave up because I fell off the wagon. Funny because I gave up the healthy lifestyle when I was so busy planning my wedding (Ironic. Go figure -pun intended). I got stressed and I ate and eventually got bigger as the years went by.

So this is me taking over my life. 4 years after that healthier lifestyle, I have gained if not all, then most of the weight back.

I am writing this at 10:00 at night. I was resizing some photos for my beauty blog when I cam across a photo that my husband took of me at the derma. I didn't recognize myself. Frankly, I was scared. Let me show you how I used to look:

This was taken in Boracay 4 years ago. I was flexible and I had a waist. I may not be that thin but I was on the road to 125lbs.

Let me show you the photo I was telling you about:

You may not see my face but you can see how big I have gotten. Nope, that's not a I am hugging... That my friends is me. I didn't really notice how big I have gotten until I saw this photo. I have always been able to angle myself in photos to make my face look slimmer, but looking at something so candid and at the angle I am not aware of, I am just scary-big.

I am not going to beat myself over the head with a stick no more. What's done is done. The time has come when I have to take over my life. Not only do I need to look good, I need to feel good to.

Without further ado, I have to bite the bullet and weigh myself. It's time I face the scale after not looking at it for about a year. This is it! I have to record my stats before I start my new lifestyle tomorrow.

HEIGHT: 5 ft 5.5in.
WEIGHT: 190 lbs. (*faint*)
POUNDS TO GO: 65 lbs.
CIGARETTES: 0
ALCOHOL: 0

So thank you for your support! It's all a matter of will power!

Cheers!
