Good Evening.
I am starting a new blog, this one is solely dedicated to my weight loss journey this year. I have been researching Diet Journals, and the research points to online blogs where people can read and hold you accountable as being the most productive to weight loss. So here I am.
If you are a friend and you know me at all you know weight has always been an issue for me. There was a couple years in my late teens where I was sick and I lost a lot of weight and that was they only time I was actually at a healthy size. Obviously being sick is not healthy and so once the ailment was under control my weight came back. I am the largest I have ever been at the moment, and I hate it. I hate the fact that I look awful and feel awful and I am only 26 and dealing with this. So I am going to be very transparent and honest with anyone that chooses to read this blog and hope it offers some sort of insight into the world of a young woman that is overweight.
If you feel the need to "critisize" then don't! Encouragement is always welcome, but I think the fact that I am choosing to write about this and keep myself accountable is enough "critisizing" for anyone to take, so feel free to comment on things that apply to yourself and to be encouraging, but don't feel this is a place to make any kind of remarks that are belittling.
So here comes the most painful honesty of it all, my weight. I figure if people on BIGGEST LOSER can get on International TV and the internet and chronicle their weight every week, so can I! Not that many people read my blog anyway.
Height: 5'2" Weight: 220 Size: 16 Womens
It's on the table now, there is no turning back, only losing.
Courtney, I think you are so brave for doing this :) I hope that the encouragement you get from here can help spur you on to keep pushing through. I know how hard it is to lose weight... I know most people probably look at me and think I don't need to lose weight, but I, too, am the heaviest I have ever been right now. I am finding it very hard to lose the baby weight. I would love to hear what you are doing as far as exercise and diet... I've been trying different things for the last 6 months. If you ever need anything, I'm only across town! Love you ;)

Courtney, I hope you don't mind me reading your blog. I really appreciate your transparency and honesty in sharing your journey with us. Just so you know, you are not alone, all of us women are constantly thinking about our weight, and never truly satisfied with our bodies. It's not easy being a women and it gets harder as the years go by. But you have your youth and your natural beauty in your favor, along with God's help, your will power and the love of your family and friends you will meet your goal. So hang in there and know that we love you and are praying for you. God Bless You on this new jouney, Lou Ann
