It's time for a serious DIET!

I've been thinking about my self image for quite a while.. I think how I feel is very important to how I act and how I carry my life...

I am 29 years old and currently weigh almost 180 lbs, I'm in a tight size 10 (verging on a 12), I am embarrassed to wear a bathing suit, shorts or even a skirt...

It is such a pain for me to step on a scale, to try on new clothes and even to look at myself in the mirror....

I know some of you might think I'm exaggerating, however, this IS how I feel and no one can change that, except for ME!

For a while I've been noticing that my poor self-image has affected my mood, has made me irritable and even neglectful towards my feelings...

So, I've decided to start a diet...not just any diet, but a doctor-led diet. This diet will allow me to feel accountable as well as guided through this journey, which I'm sure will be long and painful...

I have decided to seek help from University Wellness and Weight Loss Centers and my first appointment is scheduled for June 1st. I will go on my trip to Las Vegas and come back to this challenge!

Wish me luck!

The reason for this blog...

It took me a while to get here... a while to accept that I am overweight and don't feel well about it... it took me a while to realize that my excess weight was affecting my mood, my character and even my choices...

Some of you follow my main blog, so you may or may not be aware of how this new blog came about, so here's the story...of the short version of it!

I wrote this post about my feelings and that was the day I decided to be open about my struggle with being overweight...that was the day I felt I really need to make a change...

This blog will be raw, personal and intense...it will chronicle my journey to a skinnier version of myself as well as the struggles that I will face (because I know I will), and the end result (which hopefully will be happy one).

I will attempt to post pictures of my progress, and hopefully I will get inspired to stay on track!

I appreciate in advance all the moral support from my friends and followers....
