In the beginning...

So, it's officially 2012 and I weigh the most I've ever weighed, 186.3lbs. I struggle to squeeze myself into my size 14 jeans because I refuse to wear size 16. My bra size has blossomed to a 34 H. Who even knew they made an "H". I feel as though my naturally rosy cheeks are becoming bigger by the minute.

"How did I get to this weight", I ask myself. Well, it's simple. I eat like a 25 year old boy. Nachos, yes please. Beer, sure I'll have another. Pizza, why not. Sometimes I pretend to be classy and have a glass of wine with a homemade meal, a high fat, high calorie meal.

In the past 3 years I've gained 30lbs. I feel the worst physically I've ever felt. I have tried to change here and there. It usually last about 2 weeks then I stop for fast food after an agonizing day at work and give up entirely. I even joined a roller derby team and got a gym membership, but I frequently find reasons not to skate or not to get dressed to go walk on a treadmill.

It all stops here. Over the next 30lbs I will share with whomever is willing to read this my journey to a healthier me. I will post weekly about my progress, share recipes I have tried and tips I have learned.

Here's to a new year!
