Phat to Fabulous!
30 January 2006
And so the journey begins...
I will start from the beginning I am a 27 year old wife and mom. When I had my first daughter, Jordan, I was so horrified that I had gotten up to a size 16/18. When I had my second daughter, Kennedy, I was pretty much the same size, I only gained about 15 lbs through the whole nine months. However, life as a busy full time working mom, kept me busy and before I knew it I was squeezing into the those size 20/22s. The final straw came the day that the freaking maternity pants that I was still wearing were fitting too tight! That's a sad day for curvy girls everywhere. I decided this was some bull$hit and I was not going to have it. Mind you my husband has always been supportive, and says he is happy with me the way I am, but when I am unhappy to look at myself in the mirror and take a picture with my kids we have a problem.
I want to be able to go shop in a store that doesn't only carry clothes for sizes 14 and up, and I ain't talking about Mold Navy! I like to shop and I am tired of always buying accessories and shoes (don't get me wrong I loves my shoes) when I go shopping with my friends. I want to not be the chunky girl in the pictures all the time, like in the picture below. That's me and my girls in South Beach in October, you guessed it I am the chunky one on the end!
South Beach wasn't ready for the girls!
Anywho this is a new day! I am determined. My girls and I are planning our next annual trip for Caribana in Toronto this August and I am determined to be well on my way to the fabulous new me. I have been hitting the gym now at least 4 times a week. I have discovered these new things that aren't so bad to eat after all, called fruits and vegetables and I have my inspiration, the She-Bee herself, Ms. Laila Ali! Don't get me wrong, I have no thoughts in my mind that I will end up looking like the TKO kid, but I will have that motivation and determination so help me GOD! Pray for me y'all! I plan on using this blog to journal how things are going and to b!tch about the stuff that isn't working right.
FIRST GOAL: Get under 200 lbs! Ready or freaking not, here I come!
