Now that the weather is starting to warm up, I have to begrudgingly give up my hoodies and I am not liking what I am finding underneath. It's been a long Winter and I have found comfort in hiding behind my hoodies. Really, if you look at my pictures over the past few months, I am most likely wearing a hoody.
Over the past 8 months I have gained almost 15 pounds. That right...shocking! I am not going to lie, when I am stressed I turn to food, when I am sad I turn to food, when I am lonely I turn to food. It's that instant gratification. For those few short moments chocolate, cookies, ice cream made me feel better. The only problem, the consequences are worse than those few moments of indulgence. But it was easy to ignore...just throw on a hoody. It hides everything.
Well, I am tossing the hoodies to the side, no more hiding. I want to feel good about myself and the way I look. This week has been a good week. I am cutting out the treats and not eating after 7. I have been trying to squeeze in working out between school, moving, and babysitting. Hasn't been as successful as I wanted but it is a start.
This week I have already lost 3 pounds. I know it is going to be a long road. So, what are some of your secrets out there for weight loss or lifestyle change? What tricks have worked for you? What are some of your favorite way to workout?
Wish me luck!

We did a family fitness challenge and lots of people lost a good amount of weight. Here is the link to my blog about it: http://simplycleanliving.blogspot.com/2011/01/fitness-challenge.html
Now that we're done with that, and I've incorporated a lot of those habits, I have a new goal for the next six weeks. No taking seconds. :) I eat a LOT of food and I think having to either see it all on my plate together and/or scaling back will really help me out. Wish me luck!
I think you look beautiful! Quit being sad and lonely: ) Easier said than done, eh: ) Quit babysitting peoples kids: ) That would make me over eat too: )
