And... We're Back!

Hello, my blogging world. Yep. I've sucked at updating this for the last few months. I've sucked big time. And my reason? Oh, sure. I could sit here for hours making up excuses as to why... but none of them really matter, right? Bottom line - I'm lazy. I've spent my entire life being lazy and hiding behind the only shield I've ever been able to hide behind... food.

Well NO MORE!

After having watched the last season of The Biggest Loser, and being inspired by so many of those contestants (Ashley and Michael mostly), something inside of me FINALLY clicked. I realized that I don't HAVE to live my life like this. I don't HAVE to be miserable constantly. I don't HAVE to be ashamed of who I am and make my life revolve around food. I guess I've been sitting around waiting for something to motivate me. Well, I think I've found it :)

Watch out, world. Nothing is stopping me now. NOTHING and NO ONE. I'm getting ready to make the biggest life change I've ever attempted to make, and I'm not stopping until I make it to the finish line!

My cousin, Tonya, is also working on her weight. I'm hoping that she and I can work together to motivate each other and remind one another of why we're doing what we're doing. We are beautiful people who deserve our happiness.

I know you can do it, T! :)

I look forward to FINALLY updating this on a regular basis. No more laziness for Marie! :)
