Being a big woman is a challenge. There are the little things like running out of breath climbing stairs, having a difficult time finding flattering clothes, and looking in the mirror while naked. Then there are the mid-level things like getting infections in all of one’s crevices (trust me this is much grosser and more painful than you can even imagine), brown armpits (yep…being fat can cause discoloration of your armpits), and the constant battle with the “fat” smell. Then there are the large things like worrying about dying before your kids are old enough to really remember you at all. All of those things make being triple extra medium not so fun.
Now, take all of the depressing things you just read and add to that a holiday designed to make single people feel like total losers and you’ll have a small idea of how I normally feel on Valentine’s Day.
This year is going to be different, though. I bought Jillian’s 30 Day Shred and I’m going to celebrate V-day by starting my new exercise regiment. I’m going to try something to better my life (and my kids’). Tomorrow I’m going to weigh myself and take all of my measurements. I’m also going to take my picture. Then, Monday through Friday I’m going to do the following:
- Take my vitamins (weekends, too)
- Drink 32 ounces of water (weekends, too)
- Eat veggies with dinner
- No junk food
- Do Jillian’s 30 Day Shred at 7 PM nightly
Each Monday I’m going to weigh myself and take a picture. At the end of 12 weeks I’m going to take new measurements. I’m nervous and excited all at the same time!! I’ll keep you posted on how things are going. Wish me luck!
