Welcome to my blog-When you give a cookie. My hope is that you find this encouraging, funny and a great place to share things that have worked in your weight loss. Being 31 years old a new journey began for me yesterday. I have started a weight loss program-though I wouldn't really call it a program but a life style change. I am taking control of my life and the actions I've put on my life for 15 years. I've always battled with being overweight and letting things, people,and experiences pass me by because I'm overweight. Well not anymore...the journey begins now and I hope you'll encourage me, keep me accountable as I loose this 128 pounds. Let me be upfront with you-I won't share with you my current weight, but I will share with you how much I am losing. (pounds and inches) I'll encourage others to share what has worked for them, also what hasn't. Trust me, I've tried them all and nothing stuck-but that was because I didn't want it as bad as I do now. Feel free to ask me questions, I'll do my best to answer them and if I don't know...we'll find the answer together.
Many people might wonder why in the world would I want to blog about my losing weight. There are several reasons, actually. It's accountability, it's encouragement, it's a new journey....the list goes on. If you're wondering why I chose "when you give a cookie..". Well two reasons...when your losing weight your mind set is.."If I only have one"...then you have another and another and another-before you know it-you've had the whole bag of cookies. Also...cookies will become my challenge. They are my vice. But not anymore.
Yesterday was the start to this weight loss. I actually tried to sleep in because I knew that today was a defining moment in my life. I am using the weight loss program 'Quick Weight Loss'. I encourage you to check it out...www.quickweightloss.com
Well..this is just the beginning but I am excited to see what will come out of this-not only a smaller me, but a new outlook on life and more importantly a better appreciation for how God created me.
Let's get losing....
Good for you, Amanda! I'll will be praying for you on this journey!
