No Apologies Given

I’m no longer apologizing for wanting to be healthy and get into a smaller size.  All last year I felt bad because the light bulb went on in my head when I decided I didn't want to be fat anymore. I wanted to feel sexy and attractive. My friends and family were having their own inner turmoil going about their weight issues.  Finally, I had to realize their issues weren't mine and vice versa. I don’t have to let others problems stop my progress.

My weight loss is about being a good steward over the body given to me. I began to ask myself the question, “What would happen if I buckle down and lose the weight?” What opportunities are awaiting me at a size 8? What person would gain new inspiration and sense of purpose by my weight loss journey? What new person would I be able to influence because they can hear my voice over the fat? 

I don’t think being smaller is better by no means and I absolutely Hate our society is so vain, size and beauty driven. I do understand this is the way our culture operates so if my journey gains me influence with people then fine so be it.  It is not the outward appearance that changes minds but the inner workings of the mind and spirit.  My weight loss may get me in the door, but it will be my personality, character, and spirit that will turn the party up! 

I am beyond the point of no return. I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel. I must go on to see what the end will be. I know what it feels like to live my life as a fat chic but now I want the opportunity to know life as a slimmer healthier chic. I have worked my butt off to get to this point and I deserve to enjoy it. I also deserve to cross the finish line hard and strong.  I am telling you now don’t get mad at me when you see me twitching and sashaying down the street like I am on the runway.  I have given you fair warning I am going to be a HOT MESS!  Yes, I am going to think I am Cute. I already think I am Cute so you can only imagine what I am going to do when I finally fit a size 10… Jesus Take the wheel!  Pray For Me…LOL 

I advise you to take the same mentality as me. Stop apologizing for taking the initiative to get your health under control. If love ones can’t understand that well SCREW THEM!  Keep pressing forward towards your goal and enjoy the journey every step of the way!
