Stretch Pants Can Only Stretch So Far

Yesterday, November 20, 2012, I gave myself 2 options: I could go to the gym to do an hour of cardio before my boyfriend came over to watch some TV, or I could order a large white pizza from the best place in town and have at it. I chose the latter and WHAT A MISTAKE. Talk about hitting rock bottom! I ate all but one piece. Ate until I was not only full to the max but even nauseous! The only reason I stopped was because I felt awful for not saving my mom any. One piece! Real generous huh? Shameful.

My boyfriend came over later in the evening and I bent over to get something. Kindly, he mentioned I had some holes in the crotch of my spandex leggings (which I live in when I'm feeling like a complete and utter fat ass). I was mortified!! It wasn't because they were old or because I wear them to death. It was because I ripped them!!! Now I regularly have a big ass, but this was ridiculous.

I decided that was it. I had abused my body for too long. I've been hiding my eating habits from my boyfriend out of embarrassment and my mom is the only one who knows of the damage I'm capable of when it comes to eating.

Today I start anew. I say this a lot but I am giving myself no choice. It's time for a life change. I'm starting this blog for many reasons. First, I know what I have to do to get where I need to be, but hopefully this will help me put my knowledge into action. Secondly, my birthday is coming up and I want to make jaws drop. I have a short time to do this but in order to succeed, it's best to set realistic goals. Thirdly, one of my best friends is getting married in April and I have to fit in the bridesmaids dress I purchased which I somehow ate myself out of fitting in it since July. This will be my second goal date. And finally, I want to help inspire others to reach their health and fitness goals. I'd love to help anyone in any way I can to better their lives by leading healthy ones. I would love any input people would like to give as well so comment away!

In this blog I'll be recording what I eat, recording my workouts, and recording how much water I'm drinking. I challenge anyone to reach their 8 cups a day of H20! If you want to brag about what you're doing, let me know and I'll cheer you on too! I'll also be posting some of those inspirational pics you see floating on the web now.

It's time to make a change and today is the day to start! Ambitious as it is to start a day before Thanksgiving, it'll only help to challenge myself too! Let's do this and good luck with your goals, too!
