A Starting Point

I saw something on TV last week about a girl who decided to post herself in a bathing suit on her blog to show her true self and to show her transformation. I thought it may be a good start myself.

I've struggled with weight for a long, long time. And lately, despite of the fact that I've been training for the Ogden Marathon, I've been packing on the weight. I'm pretty sure that I'm at the heaviest that I've ever been. I think that some of it stems from a long line of weight-conscious relatives, but I think my latest problems have to do with metabolism problems due to years of taking Topamax. I'm not positive, but all I know is that something's got to give.

So this summer is my Biggest Loser Summer. My goal is to exercise 1 1/2 - 2 hours a day. Get my portions back under control. And just see.

P.S. This picture will be a great reminder to appreciate what I've got when I have it. I hate that I'm never satisfied with myself, and I'm also working on loving me just for me.
