My little sister Natasha came to me with a proposition. We'd been thinking and talking about weight loss, a subject I've dealt with pretty much my whole life, and she wanted to motivate me. She proposed that if I could lose 100 pounds, she would get me an ABJD. Now this is no small feat. That's a life changing amount of weight. And that's an expensive doll. The idea was perfect.
It's not going to be easy, and its not going to happen anytime soon, but the dreams are starting to materialize into reality.
So what have I done so far. Well, of the hundreds of weight loss plans I've tried, nothing has worked better for me then giving up candy, dessert, and soda. So, I'm doing that again. (The first time I did this, I was rewarded with my cat, Twiggy.) Of course, I will need to do much more than just that, but its my start.
I think this is great! I just stalked your blog (haha, that sounds creepy but I’m not weird or anything creeper-related at all I swear!) and I think it’s cute! Those dolls are cute….never heard or seen them before but their still cute. Pixie like. (:
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I think this sounds like a great plan/idea. I know that I have been wanting to get in shape myself. I know the difference it can make in your life. It makes you happier, more confident, outgoing, doing things you never dreamed of doing before, etc. I want to be that way! Do you watch the Biggest Loser? You should check it out, it’s really inspiring. You can watch them online for free! Last season (season 11) was the best. Look up Hannah Curlee and Olivia Ward! They were the winner (Olivia) and runner-up (Hannah) from last season. They were fantastic and look great! I love them!
Anyway, this blog (I don’t exactly remember how I came across it) is interesting to me and I would like to hear about your progress. You can do it! This has inspired me to really start working hard on myself! I hope this didn’t freak you out or anything I just feel like I can relate with you. One question: How do you feel about boys and dating?
Sorry I took so long to reply. Just so surprised somebody found my blog and felt like commenting. I usually just pretend anybody cares about what I'm writing.
ReplyDeleteI can tell from your comment that you do relate to my situation. Guess we can cheer each other along!
Well I've struggled with weight all my life. Turned into a big part of the rift between my mother and me as she continuously thought of ways to motivate me and all I could hear was that I was never good enough. My sisters somehow pull off supporting and motivating.
I've watched a few episodes of Biggest Loser here and there. Always felt so motivated afterward. I really should hunt that season down like you said.
Progress: Well considering that said sister just got married and I now live all alone, I haven't been working on it. But cooking for myself keeps me aware of what I am eating and how much. And she took the car so I don't eat out either. Anyway, once the smoke of the Holidays passes, I will take stock of where I am and where I want to be again.
Boys: Well, weight isn't the only thing holding me back from dating. But at this point in my life, I have been asked on 1 date. I went to one dance in High School, in which I asked the guy to go with me. Took all my courage to do it too. Never been kissed. So, boys and dating? I feel rather pathetic. But hey, apparently I was good at giving advice to my friends as they faced that drama.
Thank you for replying!! This just made my day, haha. That might sound lame but I have had 3 blogs this past year and no one has ever commented on them before (so I can relate with you there too) and I was just really excited to see this! :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I understand about fighting with parents and feeling like you’re never good enough. I have always been extremely shy and whenever my parents tried to encourage me to go to social events I felt like they were trying to force me to do those things because they were disappointed in me. Silly I know, and I understand now that they just wanted me to be happy and that they love me so, so much. Amazing what we learn as we grow, huh?
Season 11 of the Biggest Loser was amazing! This season, not so much but still very inspiring! I would love to have someone to help motivate me (and I would love to do the same for you) to get healthy and just be more confident and happy with myself! :)
I feel the exact same way when it comes to boys. I have never dated and I never went to any high school dances (I did an online high school so it was kind of hard to get asked). I’ve never been kissed either and if you read my blog you might see some whining about my lack of dating/kissing experience there, haha. I need to focus and work on improving myself right now though before I can even think about that kind of stuff….but I really wouldn’t mind a boyfriend….or someone who thought I was good looking ya know?
Haha, I talk too much (or type too much I guess). I wish you luck and I hope we can do this together! :)
Wow! You sound just like me. I swear I have said some of those exact same things.
ReplyDeleteDon’t you love it when you find someone you can relate with so much? I know I do! I love not feeling like “I’m the only person who feel’s this way or has this happening to me….” So, question. Do you want to start doing exercises while your home alone? I do my workouts in my bedroom by myself (and occasionally on the treadmill). It’s totally fine! And it’s fine to start out slow and running out of breath way too fast, etc. Been there, done that. (: If you want I could give you some of the exercises that I do to help you get started. No pressure though!
