Fat Mommy to Fit Mommy

I got to thinking today - and absolutely you do not have to be a mommy to participate in this blog! I named it Fat Mommy to Fit Mommy because that's MY journey - my identity right now... but as I said in my first post, this can be Fat Friend to Fit Friend or Fat Wife to Fit Wife or even Slightly Overweight Girl to Fit Girl.

My only conditions are: you cannot participate if your BMI labels you as being in the low side of "normal" or "underweight". Seriously. I'd love to have your comments (cause clearly, you people are doing something right), but I'm keeping the contributor (aka those who can actually post) list exclusive to those who have something to lose.

So, if you know anyone who has a journey of their own in progress, or is thinking about it... feel free to send them in this direction. I know - hard conversation, eh? "Hey Jane, since you're fat, you might enjoy this blog".

Ahem. I know. AWKWARD! However... remember my first post? Although I LOVE and ADORE all of my friends and family who have not said a word to me about my weight as I slowly gained 100lbs in the last decade, I think perhaps an intervention was in order. In a way I'm grateful - I had to get to this point on my own. But, I do feel that it's because I felt so alone that it went on this long. So, if you know anyone out there who may be feeling alone with their fat...

I'm sure you can find a subtle way of bringing it up.

Not that there are any miracle solutions on here - one thing I can tell you, I have never tried any "diet" or "pill" or miracle cure for being fat. I've always known that the only solution was changing my eating habits and exercising. I just chose not to do it... I don't know which is worse!

Hard work. It all comes down to hard work and determination. And, I find - taking it day by day. No more, no less. I just have to do what I have to do each day, and trust that I'll get some results...

PLEASE GOD LET ME GET SOME RESULTS. LOL!

All right. I'm outta here - Heidi is coming over tomorrow morn for a workout! Then I'm meeting with an academic advisor regarding the rest of my life. No pressure!

Sleep well everyone, and drink your H2O!
