"loose" the weight - Go away, extra pounds! Run! Be free!

2 people asked if I am pregnant today.

because i weigh like nothing like a strong wind came along and i blew away

has become a scary/frustrating/annoying experience. :(

to announce that I’ve dropped a dress size.

No pounds, but given the physical activity I’m putting in, I suspect I’m turning fat to muscle.

that my pants are loose. Baggy, even.

Hmmm!

+ 25 now
:/:/:/

And I did put on like 2-3 kg since…

I guess.. I should be back to being unhappy.. I had lost like 8-9 kg when I was suffering og love.

But maÅŸallah these days, we seem to be happy.. ( not especially happy today but ) going on dates like 5 times a week does not help when you are obese :D But I am in loooooovvveee :D and kind of engaged :D

this, too, is now a much higher priority.

Eat healthily, limit portions, exercise.

Sigh.

in this dept. I’m trying to live the changes and let the pounds wander off when they think I’m not looking.

Chris asked this question on the “lose weight” goal recently, and I think it would do me good to answer it myself (me, not Myself, although she can answer it, too, if she wants).

I am doing it for me: I don’t like myself me like this and I’m tired of not liking me.

I am doing it for my health: being overweight increases my risk for many diseases and health conditions.

I am doing it for my heart: Flirting is much easier (I hope) when you feel good about yourself and look good to the flirtee.

I am doing it for the clothes: I have so many clothes that I love that don’t fit and I want to wear them. Plus, there are so many cute clothes out there I want to wear, but I refuse to spend the $$$ until I “loose the weight”.

I am doing it for my life: There are so many things out there in the world that I want to do and experience. Losing weight will make many of those things easier and more enjoyable.

_{Edit: I have more reasons, but I accidentally hit enter before I was done. I might add them later.}
