I started 2011 feeling heavy at 138 lbs. I used to be a 120, you know. One month has passed and along with it came a happy development – I lost 6 lbs! That makes me a 132-pounder, 27 year-old gal. This is good news and makes me want to work harder to reach my ideal weight of 115 which is where one of my 2011 goals revolves around.
I have never planned to be skinny just to be called skinny, if you know what I mean. I think I have already come to terms with my own body. I know that being thin doesn’t go well with my overall appearance. My eyes would bulge out and I’d lose my boobs and my butt. I can only go as far as 115 that’s why it has become my ideal weight ever since.
When I gained unwanted pounds during the last quarter of last year, I blamed no one. I knew it was the time of several happy occasions in our family. In October alone, we had five birthday celebrations (mine, the boyfriend’s, my sister’s, my father’s, my future father-in-law’s). November was spent feasting on glorious food as we remembered our departed loved ones. And you know how a typical December would go, what with all the Christmas parties we had to participate in, whether we liked it or not. All these food trips found its way on my bellies, thighs and arms. But I’m not complaining because these were filled with happy memories shared with family and friends.
This year offers more time than I could ever want to go back to my ideal weight. I know I can. I’ll just have to do this slowly but surely.
What’s your ideal weight? How do you plan to achieve it?
I got my weight checked last February 28, it was 147 lbs. When I weighed in today, March 8, I am 7 lbs. lighter. This is what you call “the fruit of my labor.” Good luck to our weight loss goal, Superf!
don’t make me envious…haha. kidding aside, congrats and i’m proud of you! 🙂
