I am ready.

You know that you are overweight when people stop disagreeing with you.

I spent most of my high schools years having an issue with my weight and when I voiced my concerns with my loved ones, mostly the response I got was 'Don't be ridiculous, you don't need to loose ANY weight'. Eventually it started to become, if loosing a few kilos would make you happier then it wouldn't hurt, but you don't NEED to loose weight' to 'You can do it and you have my support!'. That's when it really hurts....

My feeling aren't hurt necessarily, but my ego definitely is! I have spent most of my life being quite fit and slim. When did this happen?

I am so mad at myself for letting this happen!! Why didn't I do something when my jeans got tight? Why did I just buy new jeans and pretend it wasn't happening? Why did I keep telling myself it was fine? Why did I let it get this far?
Answer: It was my crutch for everything else I didn't like in my life.

It is only now that I am starting to feel like everything is coming together in my life that I am ready to commit to loosing this weight. That I am ready to focus on it completely and give it my all. I am finally ready to make my happiness my priority. Above everything else I want to look in the mirror and smile, I honestly can't remember the last time that happened.

Say it with me, 'I am ready'. x
