I Have Returned!!!!


I have returned like a phoenix rising from the ashes!!! On a less dramatic level I have decided to change the forum of my blog. Over my yo-yo diets and mixed results I have realized that keeping up with my blog was just as up and down as my dieting. I wish I could say that I am a girl who wont have to diet for the rest of my life, but unfortunately I am exactly that girl. As long as I watch my portion sizes and exercise regularly the weight loss will come gradually and I am going to continue to work hard to reach my goals.

I have been throwing my body into a tailspin with the crazed amount of dieting and then completely falling off the wagon. Luckily, I come to my senses before I gain all of my weight back but I am still not happy with the way I look, as most women aren’t (if you are though good for you, I envy you).

The one thing I do love and always will is my curves.  I always get compliments on my hourglass figure but I know secretly all of those kind people are thinking the same thing I am…If I was little bit smaller hour glass that would be even better!

I get it now, I need to love me while trying to make improvements along the way. I think I fell short with my “weight loss only” blog because the subject was limiting. I am Graphic Designer and Artist and not expressing that part of me in my blog was making me lose interest. So like I said before I am changing the forum of my blog.

I am going to focus on loving my curvy figure and myself. I want to share my life experiences, my favorite things and of coarse weight loss. I feel like this way my blog will portray who I am better and maybe help others, like myself, find the confidence or advice they may need to live a happy and healthy life. No matter what size or shape you may be I hope this blog speaks to you and if it is still lacking a little something then send me an e-mail and give me your feedback. I can't wait to make my next post!

Stay Happy and Healthy Curvy Goddesses!

Sincerely,

Lisa

Day 1 New Beginnings

I love myself, I love myself, I love myself. I have always struggled with my weight, trying countless diet plans, pills and delivered meals. It is so discouraging for someone with my body chemistry to have such difficulty losing weight. I am very curvy, I always have been... often friends and even strangers have commented on my drastic curves and telling me I am beautiful. I always accept those compliments, they are nice to hear but that is not how I feel about myself, I haven't for many years. Sure, I can put on a very flattering dress or outfit and feel on top of the world for a day or night, that feeling is instantaneous and does not last. When I take those close off is when I struggle to look at myself in the mirror. I should love myself, there are fleeting moments when I do but I want that moment to last.

I have decided to buckle down, more than ever to make a dramatic change. I am now out of college with a sort of sucky part-time job which leaves plenty of time for me to work out, eat right and continue my search for a better job. I am not only after a better body but a better lifestyle, one that is active and goal oriented. I have always gone after my goals but there has always been something there to distract me or make me stray...but NO MORE.

If any women who are shaped like me or have the troubles I do with losing weight and they happen to come across this blog, I sincerely hope it helps. Revealing personal things like this is tough but I need to keep a daily blog so that I can monitor my own progress and force myself to keep going and if I can help someone else in the process then I am happy as a clam.

This blog is not going to be all serious, I am actually a funny person when I want to be. Here are some of the things this blog will include....


      - My weekly shopping lists and the cost
      - Videos with my thoughts and feelings about the process
      - My daily workouts
      - Recipes I have tried
      - My changing stats (Measurements and weight *** lets hope for success***)


As of now I weigh 218 lbs, this is extremely hard for me to admit publicly because I use to be around 160.


My Measurements (inches)

Waist- 28
Hips- 48
Arms- 13
Thighs- 28
Calves- 16
Bust- 38

Wish me luck everyone! I will be posting a video shortly along with a few photos from day one. Happy dieting (lets be honest its not that happy, but I hope to be soon.)
