One day at a time...

OK, this time around I am serious. I need to shed these extra pounds. Not for anyone, but for myself. Its been a hard battle, but I really need to do this. For me. For my sanity and my self esteem. I am tired of looking so hard to find things I like and want. Things that fit. Did I also mention that most of my friends are petite? I do not feel inferior in anyway, but I think I am tired of being odd!!! Besides, I do not want to develop a health challenge before I start doing something about it.

I have come to the realization that if I can discipline myself in all other areas of my life; Academics, relationships, finances... then I should be able to do same for myself in terms of my appearance.

This video below has inspired me to. (Not that I am that fat anyway, but if care is not taken, I may end up that way...after all, its little drops that finally make a mighty ocean)

Moreover, I read a blog yesterday by Mamuje about how she climbed Mt Kilimanjaro for self accomplishment...I must confess that although I would rather watch from a distance... I was inspired to "climb my own "mountain" too.

Wish me luck and happy viewing!!!

P.S- I hope it inspires you to overcome that thing that has proved to be a mountain before you too!

    Good luck: Always remember that weight loss is a journey, you have to do it one day at a time.

    Nice one.You know as an information technologist,i know the first step to solving a problem is identifying it and you've done exactly that.Just continue in the steps and you'd emerge victorious.

    Goodluck with your new resolve dear. I'm with u on this one. Like a friend of mine often says and I quote: "Losing weight is like being born-again: work at it day-by-day until it becomes a way of life".
