The beached whale intervention: phase 1

Saturday, May 18, 2013

Two months ago, I posted about my panic over my weight and appearance with my ten year wedding anniversary looming on the horizon. I went into panic mode and worked my ass off (literally) to transform my appearance. Yesterday was my tenth month anniversary and I am happy to report I have lost 18 lbs and unknown inches. But, most importantly, I have started feeling better. It took a lot of work and it will take a lot more to get to where I want to be. I have almost went down an entire size, but I can still wear my old clothes, they just fit differently. I stopped drinking soda, started counting calories and working out. Next week, I go on my anniversary trip, but after that I will be back at it. I hope to lose another 20 lbs, but mostly my goals are related to wearing my "old" pair of favorite jeans or slipping on cherished rings that haven't fit in years. I may try some diets here and there and I will report on how they work, but I have found that determination is key. And a side note, I did this for me and I was honest with myself, which I will post more about at a later date in a LeeAnnism post on weight loss. ;)
