Thinner Size
My Senior year of High School I weighed anywhere from 110-115. At the time it was whatever, I never complained about being fat and I hated it when other skinny girls did. Now I weigh anywhere from 175-185 and it makes me sick to my stomach and I definitely complain about being fat because well...when you've got the gut I've developed you've earned the right to complain. The funny thing is, my friend from High School posted pictures from our Senior prom on facebook the other day and I couldn't believe how sick I looked! Maybe it's from so many years of being so much bigger but I sat there and stared at myself 9 years ago... I couldn't stop myself from thinking "what a freaking toothpick!"
Just for fun I grabbed a picture from my fun photo shoot at the beach with my friends and did a side by side comparison. Now..if only I can get somewhere in the middle of these two! Obviously in the picture on the right I've filled out a LOT and on the left...well...let's just say I don't ever want to be THAT thin again. Seeing these however, and knowing my struggle with being overweight in the last several years, it has made me more motivated to get to that thinner size. Somewhere between the two worlds.
Excitingly, I ordered my ChaLEAN Extreme workout plan and it got here last week. I was so gung-ho about getting started and then someone planned a camping trip that I'm just dying to go on. I can't get started in a week where I know I'll miss more than one day of the routine...it's planned out on a calendar for each day of the week. SO, I guess starting next week when I get back from camping I will be busting my tail. My goal so far is just to get down to a size 10 by Em's Wedding in November and my first time ever being a bridesmaid. The goal is 10 but my heart says I can make it to an 8 by then, we shall see. In addition to the workout I've been talking to a friend about her diet. This is her second go 'round with the HCG Diet and it has done her a world of good...the girl looks so fabulous it hurts. She emailed me the "Protocol" for the diet and it's very difficult, and they don't recommend strenuous exercise unless it's something you're already used to doing daily, so.... I think my plan is to begin my workout and save up the money to also do "the diet" and about half way through the one start the other. That way I'm already used to the strenuous exercise and don't have to stop. We'll see...I still want to do a bit more research about that before I get too far into it. Right now my end goal is to make it to at least 130 and stay there...if I go 125 all the better.
I'm excited for the possibilities though. I do miss having a cute stomach and skinny legs but I think I'll also miss having big boobs one day so really, it's all a lot of give and take.

Oh honey, I was laughing at your comment! "Hurts" is such an appropriate word because trust me, losing weight is NOT a painless process. There's so much sacrifice and discipline. I agree with your goal to get somewhere in the middle. 110 is too thin!! I'm excited for your goals!! Let me know if you want any help. Even if it's just to team up on goals (because I'm done with this diet soon and I'll be doing more health goals on my own in a few weeks). Good luck!!
