Here we go again...
January 11, 2011
I have been overweight for about 10 years. Before that I was quite active and felt fat if I was in something bigger than a size 6. I can hardly believe I've let myself not only get here but stay here.
Along the way I've tried different diets and some have worked for awhile and then I lose the motivation to keep going. I had finally started losing and hit a few of my mini goals in 2009 and then I learned my Mom had cancer. I lost her in 2010 and a few months later lost my grandmother. I am an only child and my Mom was too so I now have my grandpa, step-dad and wonderful fiance. All of that led me to not only gain what I lost, but I am now at my heaviest.
I have 5 coworkers that have all lost over 60 pounds on medifast recently. I call them the incredibly shrinking people!
Although my original plan for this blog was to post about what I am eating, it seems for the next year, that won't be too exciting. So, I hereby change this blog to Not Eating with Andrea! I will focus on how I am focusing on things other than food to find comfort.
As I get close to my goal I will get to finally shop for a wedding dress with confidence rather than a sense of dread!
Wish me luck!
