Intro/ Weight Loss

WELCOME

I randomly decided 15 minutes ago that blogging is the best way for me to express myself! why? you might ask. well, I have A LOT of drama going on in my life right now and I JUST TOTALLY NEED to express it all. Not only is blogging safe (if done intelligently of course) but it is inexpensive and convenient. I have a lot to get of my chest so I'm wasting no time in getting started. Read on!

Sadly, I can't have a picture of myself up here because I do not know who will run into my blog. It is quite possible a family member, family friends, future employers, friends and ex boyfriends could run into this blog and I want no one knowing all the things I will be revealing on here.

No more Super size!

This is my first blog post ever so I'm a bit nervous and excited (mixed emotions). My blog is mainly about my weight loss journey which i have dubbed "no more super size" but I will definitely blog about news at my school, my relationships, religion, transferring to a four year institution, and my family drama. I am writing this blog for three reasons; firstly, I need a way to express what I am going through because my friends find it hard to believe i want to lose weight, and are getting annoyed when i start talking about my weight loss issues. Secondly, I need positive support. Besides the obvious benefits of having positive support; reading supportive messages and blogging helps me stay busy and keeps my mind of food and eating. Lastly, I need to let everything I am feeling inside out before I explode.

Comments are strongly encouraged; however, please keep in mind I need positive support!!!

My reasons for losing weight
1) I am over weight

• According to my eyesight and the CDC (Center for Disease Control), I am overweight. The CDC clearly says "An adult who has a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight." My BMI is 26.2!!!!

2) I want to be strong, healthy, and slim (lean)

Strength

• Right now I cant run a mile! or do one push up! (I am not exaggerating this) I need to increase my strength and build more muscle. Other wise 35 years or more down the road I will have a hunch back and won't even have strong muscles to simply lift up a pencil.


• By the grace of God ( Jesus Christ) I am healthy (and by healthy I mean that I have no health problems i.e. diabetes/STD/HIV/AIDS/Cancer/High Cholesterol/Back problems/etc) but the problem is that I have no body strength what so ever.


• I'm not looking to run a marathon or bench press 1000 pounds; i just want to at least be able to run a mile non stop or do 1 single push up!!!!

Healthy

• Before I started my weight loss all I ate was fast food and nothing else. In addition, I super sized everything, which was absolutely ridiculous....I want to eat healthier foods like i eat now like fruits and vegetables and drink lots of water. I also am working on portion control which isn't a feat that motivation/determinations/drive can cure. Only Self-Control can help me with my portion control.

Slim

• I absolutely do not want to look like Paris Hilton or Nicole Richie cause they are way too skinny for me and look unhealthy. I am proud of Nicole for her weight loss but she is way too skinny. My ideal body type is that of Selita Ebanks, Iman and Jessica White.

3) I want to be Smokin Hot not just warm<<<--- In all honesty this is the real reason and ultimate motivation for me losing weight<<<---

• I turn heads when i walk down the street but that is all I do. I want to make people hearts skip a beat, jaws to drop, eyes to pop out their sockets and be amazed at moi:} (moi is the french word for me). I also want my ex boyfriend to see me looking umm umm good and way better then his new girlfriend.


• I am sick of being average!!!! I don't just want to turn heads I want the whole exorcist 360 degree head turn thingamajig. Get ready to pull the fire alarm because I am going to be smoking hot! (sizzle)
