Alright,
So I believe that I've found a place that can act as a catalyst for transformation in many areas of my life. I've been "dreaming" of losing weight for years now. It's not that I have too much to lose, just no motivation to get there. I was thinking about this the other day and realized that this attitude applies to all areas of my life. No motivation. I hate that about myself. But when I really thought about it I realized just how unhappy I am with myself right now...I don't feel WELL. I want to start exercising again and eating healthy. Treating myself right is the first step in getting it all together. My goal is to lose somewhere between 20 and 30 pounds. I would love to do that by the 4th of July...but I am realistic and know it will likely take longer.
I'm young, having just completed my first year of college at a reputable school. It was everything that I expected and more, but I am realizing that maybe being a full-time student isn't right for me right now. That is scary for me to say because my whole life I have been raised with the idea that everyone needs to go to school until they graduate from college. But I think some of my spirit got crushed in that mentality. Education is great and I value it, but I'm not sure which direction I want to commit to. It is freeing though.
So, now that it is summertime, I want to take the time out for me before I decide where to go with my future. I want to make all of those changes in my life that I've always "dreamed" about. So this is me taking that step. I know that I won't be perfect and that it will take a lot of work and discipline, but I'm up for it. I just got a job (that I am very excited about) and have a wonderful boyfriend who supports me in everything that I do. Right now I have all of the time in the world to devote to myself and making improvements wherever they are possible.
My whole life I've sort of been a "Plain Jane"; always a little out of shape, less than extraordinary, a bit unnoticeable even. I want to change that. I want to start feeling great about myself and my body and have the confidence to take the giant steps that I know I will need to take eventually.
Sorry to ramble! I can't wait to start meeting all of you. This really does seem like a wonderful, supportive place with a lot of like-minded people. Don't be afraid to stop by and say "Hello!" I'm lonely and new right now
Thanks,
Jane
