I’ve always struggled with my weight. Blame it on bad genes, growing up with a “meat and potatoes” diet, and lately health issues. But really there are no excuses. It is my choice. About 4 years ago, I really focused on myself and my health. I learned taekwando, started tracking my food with Weight Watchers, and felt great. It was the first time in my life where I was wearing sexy clothes and looking good, but most importantly I felt empowered and healthy.

Recently I’ve lost that feeling and somehow lost the motivation. I’ve been struggling with back problems and illnesses, and can’t seem to get out of this unhealthy funk. How did I once again get back to a size 10-12 and stop caring about myself? How did I get back to this place, when before I felt so strong and healthy? Now I feel down on myself, frustrated, and depressed. But this frame of mind isn’t doing me any good. It’s time for change.

I know it won’t be easy with the holidays right around the corner, but I can’t procrastinate anymore. Usually if I’m even just proactive about my health, I at least mentally feel better about myself. Tomorrow I will hit the gym and start tracking my food again. It’s time for change!
