No time like the present

When you're a kid and you picture your wonderful life as a grownup, free from parents and teachers (replaced by bosses) and homework (bills) you think One day I'll eat whatever I want! My parents won't tell me I can't have that cookie! I'll buy my own food (with money that just appears magically out of ATMs) and eat dessert for breakfast! When I grow up I'll never have to eat broccoli again!

So now I'm that grownup. And I weigh 190 lbs. Didn't see that one coming. Somehow you never picture yourself being the FAT grownup.

Well, this fat 22 year old grownup is pretty damn sick of it. Although I'll always have bosses and bills I've decided I won't always have this extra weight.

I've lost 25 lbs since my highest weight (215) and I've got a ways to go. My ultimate goal is about 125 but for the time being I'm aiming for 160. A week ago I joined Curves and I've gone 3 times. I really like it when there are several of us in there and we laugh and sing and joke while we workout. I'm hoping Curves will really boost my weight loss, but either way it just feels good to go.

Tonight I'm going to work on getting some pics uploaded. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to reading some of yours!
 
Ooooooh! People make me so mad! So, I'm a waitress at Cracker Barrel (which I'm pretty sure is the leading cause of obesity in America) and last night at about 15 minutes till closing time we had a party of 20 PEOPLE come in! With messy children and the works. We close at 11:00 on Saturdays and we (me and exactly one other waitress) were not out of there until 12:20. To top it off they only left us 18 dollars. That's less than one dollar per person, and the two of us had to split it! Honestly who does that? Ok, done ranting.

I dug up a couple of "before" pics from last year, don't mind the goofy face in the full bod shot, my husband was trying to be artistic and I make a horrific model.
