Welcome to Weight Loss Wednesday! I would like to introduce you to somebody who has encouraged me and helped me stay on track. When I was thinking forgetting the working out or counting calories, this gal was all over me, with caps on, getting me back on track. She's great and has an awesome post for you today!
Hey y'all!
Hey y'all!
I am Marcy and you can finding me spitting word vom over at
E-Diddy as I prefer to call her asked me to guest post on her space of the inter web and how could I deny her of that???
So here I be.
Wednesday's you can typically find me linking in with Erin & Alex for Weigh-In Wednesday.
E-Diddy wanted me to preferably talk about something health related so this works out quite nicely.
Without keeping you reading for days you can read my post
I have yo-yo'd and dealt with serious weight loss issues all of my life.
Until the birth of my last child.
I finally said enough is enough and this time I meant business.
A little over 8 months ago before having this sweet little thing...
I looked like this...
I was HUGE.
I was miserable.
I had been put on bed rest for toxemia from three months on.
I was depressed.
I don't know about y'all but when I am depressed I eat.
I eat A LOT.
On my 5'2 frame 265 pounds doesn't hide itself very well.
Literally as soon as I had delivered Miss P I was already thinking of ways to drop the weight.
I immediately starting throwing down H2O like it was my job and tracked what I ate.
The first 85 pounds came off
Then I realized that I was actually going to have to do something other than count my calories and chug water like it was a cold beer on a hot summers day.
Who knew?
So I took the leap and joined the gym in my building.
Yes, I have a gym.
Yes, I have worked at the same place for the past five years and never used it.
Anyways...
Moving right along.
I was determined to do it.
To actually stick with it this time.
I was tired of feeling so worn down and out of shape.
Not to mention feeling like the Michelin Man on the reg.
I could hardly believe it myself.
Once again this week I am still at the same number on the scale.
In prior years I would have given up at this point.
I mean I am not losing on the scale so surely this isn't working right?
WRONG.
I had a breakthrough today.
I have seemed to have a lot of those in this process and if you have ever went through it or are currently going through it then you know what I am talking about.
My first big one you can read about
DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE IF YOU JUST BELIEVE!
Please take it from me that it is never too late to take control of your life.
Why start tomorrow?
Every minute is a new minute...
A new chance to succeed.

Skinny to me means I feel good in MY skin for the first time in so long and it's lasted more than just a couple of minutes. It has lasted days. This is HUGE! Loving yourself is such an awesome feeling. I feel on top of the world. Literally. If I can do this anybody can and in another month I cannot wait to compare those results with these! It is NEVER too late to start living your life. FINALLY I am living the life I have always wanted... happy and healthy!
I will be the first to tell you
Because Lord knows I never will be.
I also know that it isn't cute and my Man likes some junk in the trunk...
And in the words of my homegirl Nene
