It's been years since I last blogged and I have to say I am really looking forward to starting again. Last time it was so theraputic to just get those thought and emotions off my chest and be in contact with other wonderful like-minded people. I've made some great friends through blogging.
This time around will be interesting... I'm undertaking the Michelle Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation challenge. I'ts my first time... I'm scared! But faced with the prospect of gaining back ALL the weight (and then some!) of the weight I shed last year (15kgs) in time for my wedding, I am at panic stations. Do I really want this to be my life? Constantly loosing and gaining weight... but more often gaining! Do I really want to beat myself up every day because I feel depressed and crappy because I am eating shitty food and not taking care of my body? Um... NO!
I'm in my 30's now... I don't mind that. My 20's sucked. I am much more confident as a person and I like (usually) who I am on the inside. I need to stop treating my body as the enemy and start to cherish it. After all, its the only one I have!!
It's time to be kind to myself... to stop feeling disconnected from my body and to be a bit nicer to it. All things considered, it's a pretty strong meat suit. I have given it a lot of abuse over the years and fueled it with alot of junk and little exersise but it's still going strong. I am so fortunate that I don't suffer from the maladies and illnesses of other overweight folks and I'd really rather not let it get to the point where my LIFE is at risk before I make a change. I LIKE my life... I have a pretty awesome one... the only thing missing is that loving relationship with my body to make it perfect.
So! Here goes... 12 weeks of putting MY health first. MYSELF. No ifs, buts or maybe's. Time to get outside my comfort zone and change for the better.
BRING IT ON!
