Hate hate hate posting photos of me, especially below the boobs….but hey…part of fixing a problem is facing it. I told you I was taking you guys on this journey with me, so here we go. This is my before photos. Today I start, officially, my new lifestyle. I will fix it this time. I will make it- why you ask?Because the problems I’ve had lately I blame partly because of my weight.
I am not the same person with this extra weight. I’m tired, unmotivated, not exciting or fun. I want to hide from the world and do as little as possible for fear someone will comment my weight. Ugh, it’s just a horrible cycle. I’ve seen so many people biking around here and I make jokes that I would like to bike but I’m afraid my butt in spandex bike shorts would make people crash as they drive up upon me biking….I’m my own worst critique. But now I’m going to change. I’m going to improve…
My goals for doing this are trying to continue eating whatever I want…but keeping snacks to weekends and keeping portion sizes in check and most importantly for me, exercising consistently. I am good for awhile and then it rains……or I am too tired….something happens and I stop up. But now I’m going to keep it going…even if my exercise is only a 30 minute walk…something is better then nothing. And with all these dogs I really have no excuse not to walk every day…
So stick around folks…my course is 8 weeks. I’ll keep you updated how things are going weekly, with a new photo and you guys can let me know if you see any changes ok?
Uff….ready……here I am today…
Ugh…the shame….and I didn’t even put makeup on for y’all….but hey, I’m playing with 12 puppies, it is raining outside which means everyone is peeing and pooping inside all day…it’s messy and stinky….so I decided to drop the fanciness today…hehehe…not that I’m a fancy girl to begin with…but…I usually put my face on if I show myself in public…hahaha…
Ok, thanks for stopping by and to all of you who comment- THANKS…funny how comments from strangers (and some of you comment so much that you aren’t strangers anymore) and people around the world can affect your day in such a positive way!
Until next time my friends…..

OK... first off - you're beautiful! Yes your curves have an extra bit of padding but you've decided to take care of that. But don't hide yourself! Maximize the positive and get out there in the middle of life!!
So says the lady with extra padding that's departing also!
For å sette det på spissen så ville jeg aldri sagt "tjukk" om deg, eller sett på deg og tenkt at "hun er feit". Langt ifra! Jeg synes du er ei vakker dame med kurver, du er kvinne. Du har et godt og pent ansikt, du ser snill og varm ut . Du ser faktisk ut slik jeg hadde forestilt meg (man lager alltid et bilde av mennesker man ikke har sett - men du har det gode, snille blikket jeg har sett for meg).
Men når det er sagt så handler det om å ha det bra med seg selv - og det er viktigere enn hva alle andre må mene og tro!!?? Føler du deg som dritt i din egen kropp så må du bare gjøre noe med det - for din egen del.
Uansett, du er ei sterk dame og hvis du virkelig vil så får du det til. Kanksje du kan komme med gode råd til oss andre som liker å putte noe i munnen hele tiden :) Jeg hadde egentelig bestemt meg for å bli litt sunnere, men jeg er ikke helt der enda.
Jeg ser frem til å følge deg - både på godt og vondt!
klem
Amy,
You are a beautiful woman, inside and out. You are right about one thing: you are your own worst critic, so I'm glad you're going to stop being too hard on yourself. Would you say those things about a friend to her face the way you talk about yourself? Sorry to be so blunt.
I know you will be able to make the changes and accomplish all your goals. I look forward to many more posts with beautiful pictures, about how you're enjoying life even more, although you have a wonderful life and are having fun already!
Klem
hei Amy.
du er jo en vakker kvinne,ingen ting å skamme deg over,sånt tullprat,nydelig er du vennen.
man blir fort altfor kritisk til seg selv,
ønsker deg lykke til med det du skal,men husk,du er flott.
sommer klem fra sylvia
My sweet friend Amy, you have nothing to be ashamed about:) You're a beautiful, curvy woman. Eat healty, exercise and be good to yourself.
hugs from marilyn
I agree with everyone! You look fabulous and are a beautiful person! But I also know that no matter how many times people say that to us, we still look in the mirror and are our own worse critic! So I am here to support you in whatever way I can. We all believe in you!
