Tuesday Truths

Well, I guess today is the day.  Most of you probably don't know my "whole truth and nothing but the truth" story and if you want to know all about my struggle/obsession/history with food/weight/body image click here - that was the very first post I ever wrote on this blog.  The details are dirty, but I'm not ashamed of my past and I'm trying to just move forward with the here and now.  I don't want pitty or judgements, only encouragement - so here goes!

My first official weekly weigh in...ugh! I've dreaded it, but I've been super off track with my eating and I knew I had gained a few pounds.  Before I reveal the actual tonage poundage, I want to lay out some goals out for myself!

1. Lose 20 Pounds Before Norah Turns ONE - Norah's birthday is January 30th and my 30th birthday is on January 25th so I figured double whamy on this one!

2. Focus On Portion Control - Portion Control is most definitely my biggest struggle and I truly believe it stems from my eating disorder history.  From restricting, then binging and purging, now I feel I'm an overeater because my brain is still wired all effed up and thinks this may be the last meal it gets for 3 days so you better shovel it in...

3. Exercise Consistently - I decided not to put a number of days/week I'm going to "require" myself to exercise.  I'd like to shoot for 4-5 times a week, but sometimes life and work just doesn't allow for that.  This goal is to make a concious effort to MOVE.EVERY.SINGLE.DAY in some shape or form!

Week 1 Poundage - 179.4

There is it in black and white, wowza!  Let's get this show on the road!
