Fat Girls Unite!

Okay so today is my first post. I got some shocking news today. My husband ordered the P90X DVD series, which requires you to take 'before' pictures. Well I went outside, took some before pictures of my husband and he insisted he take some of me as well. I was literally SHOCKED at the result. My level of fatness has reached something I had never imagined.

How did I let it get this bad you ask? I have no freakin' clue! And thats the truth. I was completely blind sided by these pictures. Here are some of the signs that I should have realized how fat I really was.

My wedding ring doesn't fit.

None of my necklaces fit.

If it doesn't have elastic, I haven't been able to wear it.

My cute strappy shoes don't fit.

I wore heels one day and my feet hurt because I am too heavy.

I was actually too paranoid to go on a roller coaster at Hershey Park because I was afraid I wouldn't fit in the seat! (don't tell anyone I said that, its a secret)

The thought of getting in front of the camera instead of behind it completely terrifies me.

I have been secretly hoping that I would come down with some temporary illness which would make a doctor tell me I have to lose weight or I will DIE. In the hopes that it would suddenly force me to get on a path to fitness.

Whats the plan you ask? Well I don't really have one YET. At least not a meaningful one. All the junk food in this house is being thrown out today and I am starting an exercise regimen. Don't misunderstand, I have no delusions that I am going to participate in this P90X crap but me and my elliptical trainer are going to become one.

I don't know if anyone is going to read this, or participate but I feel like I need more accountability in my weight loss journey and if the blog helps me stay focused then that would be a good thing.

Anyone with me?
