It seems lately, I have been pointed in the direction of health, well being, and weight loss. In the midst of being asked to review two fitness items, a spot to write for the Weight Loss blog became available. Currently, I write for the Home Schooling blog here on Families.com. I am very excited to get my fingers working out on the keyboard as your Weight Loss blogger as well.
Weight loss is a topic that I have become all too familiar with through my life. From a quick stint with an eating disorder, to getting in great shape, to getting out of shape, to loosing baby fat, to gaining baby fat, I’ve seen it all. I have fat clothes, skinny clothes, clothes I plan to wear again, clothes that mock me as I pass over them in the closet, and clothes I hate to admit are my size. I am not a fad dieter but I have been known to go “low carb” and count calories. On Tuesdays, I often think, “whoa, I forgot to start my diet on Monday…guess I have another week to indulge”. Through my journey I learned that health really is more important than size and not just something I tried to convince myself of to help me sleep at night.
So, what qualifies me to write in this realm? All of the above! Yes, I studied a bit of nutrition in college and researched it on my own. Knowledge of nutrition and how the body works does help one understand the dynamics of weight loss, however, my “every woman” understanding of the emotional dynamics of weight loss is an asset. As I begin to finally loose those thirty pesky pounds using my experience, I hope to encourage all those out there that weight loss is attainable and about more than what you see in the mirror. I know how to lose weight. I know what to eat and what not to eat. I know how many calories one burns eating. Most of all, I know to become successful at losing weight one must be focused on more than an old pair of jeans that mock you as push them aside for your “fat” jeans. As I work my way back to energy and health, I encourage you to join me.
