Officially Starting Weight Loss Plan
Keeping weight off has always been a battle for me. I go through phases with working out and that definitely contributes, but it's my love for food that plays the biggest role in this struggle. I love food.

I'm the heaviest I've ever been in my life. Ever. By more than 10 pounds. A year ago I was in shape. Not anywhere close to supermodel skinny, but I felt so good about the way I looked. The thought of turning 30 and being this out of shape makes me feel so depressed.

I'm making a promise to you and myself that I'm going to get back into the shape that I was in and I'm going to chronicle my journey here. I'm going to figure out a positive relationship with food. I'm not going to lie, I really don't want to start writing this in a blog until I can prove that I can lose some of the weight and until I can prove that I can do the writing at least once a week. But that's just a recipe for disaster...it's not enough accountability.

Emotional Tip
Know your motivation. What am I going to use to remind me that cookies are not my friend? For me it's: Looking good in a dress, being able to climb a 14er, running the BolderBoulder, feeling good about myself, and always thinking about new fitness challenges for myself.
