100 Pounds of Me(liah) Challenge
It's a wonderful Thursday! The perfect day to reflect on my personal goals such as finishing this transcribing project and losing the 30 pounds I gained in a month. Surprise! I'm human and I have things I obsess over and get absolutely nothing accomplished because I'm too busy making an average problem a huge problem.
Nowadays I am very in tune with social media but it does not drive me or make me money the way it does for so many fortunate/unfortunate souls (debatable). It's just that the more "perfect big booty, no waist having, perky boob lifted models" that I see the more weight I seem to gain. I think my ideal body weight may have been right before I met my ex (he who shall not be named). At the time I was 19 and had more energy than ever. Now I'm 60 pounds heavier, more tired and a little envious that those ladies have the time/energy to work on their bodies. No worries, I gained that weight in the 4-5 years of my being here in Minnesota. A place where the summer you just want to drink and the winter you just want to eat and drink (my own personal motto).
I have had various failed attempts with friends and associates to shed pounds and relive our glory body days. I was no one to mess with when I wore a two piece honey! the fact is I have not been motivated at all. My reasoning for being in shape has never been good enough. I have had health issues that hindered what I could do and that fat girl in me ate to feel good about myself. Unfortunately. she been eating too good. I have tried swearing off bread, pasta, rice, milk, beef, pork and any fatty substance alike. Unfortunately I'm not a very consistent individual and depriving myself of a pulled pork sandwich has been something I've never been able to do.
After looking at the scale just a few days ago I couldn't even believe the numbers. I was beyond tears and instead went to my one true comfort, food.When I look back on why I even want to be smaller I think about how my wardrobe consists of sizes 14-18 and I am pushing 20 but the most flattering clothes look good on a size 16. I love my heels, I'm addicted but the more weight I gain the harder it is to last in those puppies. I want to look and feel good. I call the back of my knees tootsie rolls because of the fat that has formed. When the guys I know hear me say I'm going to lose weight, they always make sure to tell me not to lose my butt. Thing is I want all of it gone. I want to be able to run, jump, and swim without struggle.
Take me back to those days in school when I played sports just to get in the yearbook photo!I have an idea and I want my sisters/brothers that are struggling to join me. Lets get healthy together. Some people are happy being plus sized and I applaud them, but I can't stand having to pay twice as much for plus size clothing nor do I like hearing the words Miami Beach without thinking about having to wear a one piece, cover up, and shorts. While I was study to be an EMT hearing about different health conditions and complications that can be caused by excessive weight . I sometimes even watch TLC's My 600lb life as a scare tactic, I can do better or be worse. It's not just about what we east but it's also about lifestyle. I work and sit on my buns all day! When I was at my ideal size I was on my feet 10+ hours a day.
Things have changed drastically. I wanted to take an idea from an old pact I made and start something new. For every pound I lose I'll put it towards the charity of me going on a vacation where I get to show off and a charity. Exchange food recipes and even confide in those taking on the challenge when I feel myself slipping, kind of like having a sponsor. I figure starting off small just with eating and moving around more will help me get ready for an intense workout routine. With a previous accident hindering any major physical activity, I'm determined more than ever to be a healthier Meliah and have you guys see that sometimes progress is a process that's worth the wait. So, I’m introducing the 100lb challenge! Any and all are welcome to join me. There will be laughter, there will be tears, but there will be change . Even if I’m alone in my journey I’ll share every bit of it. Stay tuned for this crazy life changing adventure.
