Day 2 - 2011 Weight Loss
Over the New Years weekend, I was horrified by some photos that were taken of me. I mean, they were bad. Very bad. But, instead of staying stressed over it, i'm going to use it as a learning experience and as serious motivation to lose this weight!!
I will post the one that turned out least horrible - and it's a bad pic of me, but believe me, the rest are worse. One in particular!! This one photo is truly the worst photo I have EVER seen of anybody. Ever. I look like a giant beach ball in glitter! =*( (Made the mistake of wearing a pretty glittery top for New Years........and I am now going through my closet and putting away all similar items until I lose a good 50 pounds or more!! OMG. Anyway, in this pic, I have multiple "double chins", my face has NO definition whatsoever. I look bloated and swollen. I mean, I have seen my share of bad pics taken of me, but I look so much more huge and disgusting in these photos. My face looked red and so puffy. Even more so than it has gotten when I was off my thyroid meds. My face (it's a common symptom) gets puffy if I don't take my medicine. But, my face was even more puffy and swollen-looking this weekend and i've been ON my meds!
So anyway, time to lose the weight. I have to start really slow, with my exercising, because I am so out of shape. And so out of energy. It's frustrating. But, I am scheduling small amounts of exercise each day, and will increase a bit each week! I hope that some of my friends will be interested in going to a gym, going swimming, or going for walks once in a while - after I do some "at home" exercising for a week or two.
I will be using this as my weight loss blog. I will track progress, blog about whatever is on my mind, store links to exercise information, nutrional info, etc.. This is a personal thing.. But, if you have came across this blog and find it of interest (maybe you are also dealing with difficulty losing weight, etc) - you are welcome to follow the blog. We could support each other, motivate each other.
Ok.. So, below is the ONLY photo I am sharing from New Years weekend. Yes, it *is* bad. Yes, it shows how fat I am!! lol But, if you seen the others, you'd think it's an "ok" pic. lol However, the VERY worst photo? It will serve as a motivation tool for me. I will eventually post that photo - once I have lose enough weight to use it as a "before" shot, with my "Before & After" pics. Not until then! lol
