Beauty of a whale.

It has been rather recent that the talk of weight has entered my life. At a check up I was told I was now considered medically 'Obese" or overweight by just four pounds on the hospitals scale. I was heartbroken and I then started trying to lose weight. Looking at magazines and other awful examples of how a women should look made me sad because I was not the "perfect" body. . . . until one day, I stumbled upon this. . . 

"A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and beautiful woman. The caption was "This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?"

                              The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) answered the following way: 

"Dear people, whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness.They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia.They sing incredibly well and sometimes even are on cds. They are impressive and dearly loved animals, which everyone defend and admires.

Mermaids do not exist.But if they existed, they would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: woman or fish?They would have no sex life and could not bear children.Yes, they would be lovely, but lonely and sad and, who wants a girl that smells like fish by his side?

Without a doubt, I'd rather be a whale.At a time when the media tells us that only thin is beautiful, I prefer to eat ice cream with my kids, to have dinner with my husband, to eat and drink and have fun with my friends.We women, we gain weight because we accumulate so much wisdom and knowledge that there isn't enough space in our heads, and it spreads all over our bodies.We are not fat, we are greatly cultivated.Every time I see my curves in the mirror, I tell myself: "How amazing am I ?! "(The girl on the picture is French model Tara Lynn)"

So. . . I might be overweight and have a few problem areas and I will lose some weight for health issues, but I'm not going to starve my self to be something that isn't real anyway. 

So here I raise my cup of hot coco, in joy in my body and the fact that it can do so many wonderful things such as move, dance, laugh, hurt, feel love and someday make and protect life. 

Yeah BODY love! 

Losing it!

When I was a Jr. in high school, I had the self confidence of a boy in a dress and high heels. To this day I am still the same. However I was stupid as a Jr thinking I didn't look good. Recently opening up that year's year book was a picture of me with the ladies choir presidency . . . it only took one boy (who happened to be my friend) to say " look how skinny you were!"Thanks for the confidence, jerk! So yes. . . since my jr year I have but on those unwanted pounds and ate my feelings. . . So it is time to get back to that curvy little body I had of 140lbs.  So you (who ever you may be) will help me out. You can join with me and we can lose it together! 


I know it's never heard of a woman saying how much she weighs, but I don't really care at this point. SO here goes nothing! 


I L.E.C, on the 8th of July was weighed in at 


162 lbs


that is right. that is how much I weigh. It sucks, but hey! this is why we as woman do this right. . . admit your flaws and become humble. . . become better. . . right?!


(You can see the poundage on that!?!?!? NO LOVE HANDLES! NO TUMMY!!! That is what I want.) 


I love my body it does a lot of great things for me like move, eat, sleep, and think. I want to get it in the best ability it can possible be. 




SO 


THE PLAN


Lose 22 pounds by. . . Oh lets say the end of August. Seems fair. 


I'll post my progress and recipes and everything if you will do this with me! Come and make your self feel better and look great too!
