~I am not perfect, nor am I good at everything in this life. I have to work hard on things that may come easy to others. I want to be the best that I can, but with that comes mishaps, and let downs.~
I used to be in a perfect shape, I was an athlete, a competitor. I reached adult hood, my life style completely changed. I went from training everyday at the rink, never watching television, and not relaxing only at bed time. So, when I met my now ex husband, his life style was the opposite of mine. I thought "wow this is different" and I fell right into it. My body was confused I think, I had all this muscle that was not being used and I started gaining weight slowly but surely. I have struggled with my weight my whole decade in my 20's. I will be thirty next year and I don't want to wrap up my twenties this way. I have lost 25 pounds since August, BUT I gained some of it back! I take full responsibility for my weight, nor did or will I blame my ex husband for my weight issue seeing as I am the only one in control of myself! I am giving you a little back round to how you go from 125 pounds all muscle to an overweight women. I struggle with my weight, and I am not to proud to admit this. I am human, I have a hard time and I am reminded of it everyday. I am a fighter, I will continue fighting for my body so I can be a healthy weight. I don't want to come off as though I don't love myself, because I absolutely do. I just have a weight problem that I will always have to battle. Being five foot nothing, with my build.. easy weight gain is inevitable for me with out exercising and eating properly I will pack on the pounds (don't be jealous lol). There is NO feeling bad for myself, I am who I am, and Its all in my hands. I am the only one that can control what I do. Consistency is the secret with me.
I am not afraid to push my body to its limits, I exercise like an athlete. Im still strong, I'm solid which is good. I lose weight pretty quick, its just me not getting to carried away with eating out with my friends, and eating to much chocolate. I LOVE chocolate lol! Most women do, but I think I like it way to much haha!
This losing weight goal, is apart of me bettering myself, taking care of my heart health and overall health. I want to live for a long time, and have more options when I go shopping! I think that I'm a bit limited in that department.
I love being active, and exercising! I think that I just get out of my routine and then.. its weeks since my last work out! I thought that I should share this battle with you all, seeing as its part of me. I am working at it and I will continue on working on it! I want to lose 20 pounds by Christmas! That is a goal that is doable for me. Even with Thanksgiving coming and all, its all about moderation!
I'm sure some of you can relate to my weight issue or maybe you have something else you battle with. But remember.. you can help yourself! We all have that power, and then once we achieve small goals, and big ones too we feel so proud, and empowered by them! So never give up on you! I'm sure as heck not going to! I'm excited and have been about getting to a healthy weight and feeling better then I already do. Overweight or not.. I'm still the same Katie, I still love life, and I am a strong young women, whom I am proud for all I have overcome. So this is me opening another piece of me that I don't mind sharing.
