Brand New Begining

So, I have been meaning to do this since the beginning of the year. My new years resolution was to start getting healthy and loose weight. Well… It’s a half a year later and I am finally realizing that I am the only one who can get this going. I can’t keep waiting around for ‘the right situation’ or ‘a good reason’. The situation is NOW and the reason is MY LIFE. I am 23 years old, 250lbs, and am definitely not a happy person. I am also quitting smoking, and I know that many people gain weight as they are trying to quit, so this will help me with that as well. Instead of actually concentrating on quitting, I’m concentrating on making healthy choices, which will in turn help me lose weight, and not think about not smoking. This all sounds good on paper, and I’m sure someone reading this is thinking “Good luck girl! I have been there and it’s easier said than done!” Well, thank you for reading, but I am going to keep being positive and believing in myself. I know thats really the only way that I’ll be able to do this. I am SO done being fat. I’m done being unhealthy. I love the outdoors and being active, but I find myself avoiding it because I lack the energy and motivation, and I know that is directly affected by my current health. SO, HERE I GO! I’m off! And I appreciate everyone’s support and encouragement along the way! I know I can do this, FINALLY! I know I can be an inspiration for my friends and family who may be struggling with their own health issues! I hope that I can help you as you help me! I am going to go get some sleep now. Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life! I am so EXCITED!
