So the other day my niece, whom I adore, looked me in the eye as she was jiggling my arm and said “Auntie, you eat too much”. Now, regardless of the fact that, yes, that was not a very nice thing to say (which I told her) it made me realize I hate having to always remind her that it hurts my feelings when she says I’m FAT.
So, what do I do about it? It’s not that I’m not happy as a FAT CHICK, I’m happy with who I am. I’m just not healthy. I’m not happy having to hear my niece tell me I’m FAT. I’m not happy when I feel out of breathe after doing simple things. I’m not happy when I tell friends I don’t want to do something because they’re in better shape than I am and I’m afraid I’ll slow them down. So, maybe I’m not happy as a FAT CHICK.
Who knows. We’ll go down this journey, we’ll see what happens. I have excuses:
My excuses are lame. I know it. But, they are what they are. So, let’s see where this journey takes us. Let’s see what happens.

We all have our excuses, and our fears about trying to lose weight, but we all have the power within us to really change. If you are looking for inspiration, what really gets me is http://www.priorfatgirl.com. It is what started my journey.
