I started my new me on January 4, 2010. That is the day I started to eat right and move more. I won't tell you my starting weight, but it shocked me to see how much I actually weighed. I've tried this "diet" thing before and never got to where I wanted to be. This time is different. I am so sick of being sick.
Just before the holidays, I started a new job. I no longer had to dress up wearing "office" clothes. I can now wear jeans and be comfortable. Ok, that was part of the problem. For me to be comfortable, I needed stretch pants. You know, the kind that covers everything and moves with you. Most jeans don't stretch that much and I certainly did not have any that did. I had to go shopping to buy a few pair to get me through. One size higher than I have ever worn before. Not only that, but I needed to go up 3 sizes to fit my ever growing chest.
What really pushed me was the day I went shopping for a sweater or blouse to wear to our office holiday party. After so many failed attempts at finding something nice to wear, I ended up sitting on the floor of a fitting room in Macy's crying my heart out. I think tha was the final push I needed.
