Blue is Here!!! :)
Hello Everyone,
My name is Blue, I'm a 25 year old writer living in New York and right now I'm an office manager at an Arts based non profit (while I work on my book I figured it would be cool to be surrounded by my artsy fartsy "peers").
At my highest in High School I was 280.
As an adult I've usually been around 230-250, and in the past year I've been through a lot and am now at the highest weight that I've ever been since high school at a whopping 260lbs.
My starting weight for this eating plan is 259lbs, I started on Monday Nov 21st but since I'm getting my period next week (too much info) I'm bloated and am not really showing any weight loss yet (have to wait for the bloat to go down).
I've felt like giving up many times over the past 5 days...and my cravings for sweet potatoe pie yesterday during Thanksgiving dinner were persistant!
But this board, and in particular the before and after pics are really keeping me on track.
Already I've been inspired by Cleo, Iyamamaschke and countless others who have come soooooo far on this journey (THANK YOU SO MUCH
I don't even know you guys and already I've thought about your stories when I feel like I'm about to lose hope)
My short term goal is to be well under 200lbs (ONEderland!) by My birthday in April and my ultimate goal is to be a size 8 and approx 145lbs in time for the 4th of July)
I'm going to need ALL the support I can get.
I'm sick of making myself the chubby loveable "safe" girl because I'm scared deep down people will be intimidated by me if I'm both smart AND gorgeous.
I'm sick of using my fat as a security blanket
I'm ready to be extra fabulous.
I'm ready to claim the spot that's rightfully mine and let my light shine unapologetically.
It's time to finally let out the "real" me and see if she's as cool as I think she is.
I'm sure many of the women on this board can relate.
Let's do this!!!
