this year i've taken on a 366 project but i've also joined a 12 month project over at {clickinmoms}. it's called "the way i view......}. each month will have a different theme. we were then broken up into groups and will link to each other in our group. cool huh?
so this month, new beginnings. i've had a lot of new beginnings in the last couple of years. but i'm embarking on a new one this year so this theme is perfect. :)
the way i view new beginnings is this....
yes, that's my weight. out there for the world {or the few people who look at this} to see. do you have any idea how freakin' scary the idea of posting a picture of my weight is????? i'm sure some of you do. but you know what, this is it. that number is going down and it's going to stay down. i want to be healthy. i could care less about the number on the scale. truly. i want to be able to run around with my kids and buy cute jeans. if i can do that at 226, 180, or 400 it doesn't matter to me as long as i feel good about myself. right now i don't and i hate it. i've always been a bigger girl and i've always been super confident anyways. that confidence is lost right now. i'm going to find it.
new beginnings....
do me a solid and check out {Natalia} interpretation of new beginnings. :)
oh btw, it's my birthday so that's a whole new beginning too. welcome to 32.....

Huge HUGE hugs for being SO brave! You're right, the number on the scale doesn't matter - how you FEEL matters! I'll be right there with you, watching my numbers drop and cheering you on as your numbers plummet!
ReplyDeletePS - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
So brave for you to put this out there! I made a decision to finally lose my baby weight last Jan and it paid off. Posting this might help you stick to it! I can't wait to see that number go down :)
ReplyDeleteWow, big step. Now we're all watching (and cheering), and you can do it! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love this post. You can do this. :) You inspire me to be healthier too...it is something I need to start...like now...this capture is strength-thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Angela, I just love you! I love how you are so open with your audience and so real and authentic. My number is very close to yours and I am having some serious health issues... yet I find myself reaching for the ice cream more often than not. I'd love for you to keep sharing what you find motivating and where you stumble. I LOVE this photo. Good luck and Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow brave you are!! We will support you all the way! Love this idea!
ReplyDeletePS we measure in stones here, this weight means nothing to me unless I do some maths!! ;-)
go you!! So brave and you'll love seeing that number go down!!
ReplyDeleteYou're so brave! Best wishes on your new beginnings goal! :) Happy bday
ReplyDeleteYou are my hero, that took a lot of guts! I'm cheering you on!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday girlie! You still have that confidence you speak of... We, your blog followers, we see it!
ReplyDeleteSo brave and so awesome! I've been trying to lose my baby weight for the last year and I don't see that happening any time soon!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, you're making me cry!! I did think not long ago put had to publish my posts to a private blog that i allowed ONE person to view. i'm such a wuss!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for your new beginning. there is nothing better than buying new (CUTE) clothes... and some shoes to match ;) Good Luck girl! WOO HOO!!!!
What a brave and wonderful way to celebrate your birthday! I don't know you, but I'm proud to know you! I'm struggling with weight loss issues right now too. Chronic headaches make exercise difficult, so I'm trying extra hard to make good food choices.
ReplyDeleteI think you're SO smart to make the goal not about the number but about health and happiness (and of course cute jeans!). I'm right here with you baby, cheering you on! Slogging along beside you too! xo
You go, girl! Best of luck on your journey. We'll be cheering for you!
ReplyDeleteYou go, girl! Best of luck on your journey. We'll be cheering for you!

ReplyDeleteYay, You can do it!!! We'll be cheering you on the whole way.
ReplyDeleteYay for you. You can do it! Looking forward to watching your progress over the year.
