The times I’ve succeeded at weight loss, something triggered intense motivation and determination from within. You have to get that “something” to trigger before you can move full steam ahead. Even though you want it, you mentally have to be so freakin’ ready, you could wave a cart of cupcakes in front of you and it wouldn’t matter!
I continue to yo-yo up and down on the scale. I’m done. I’m sick of FEELING the way I do.
For almost a year, I’ve been trying to catch that band wagon. I get on and then I fall off and hit my head.
Even though, I felt bad, looked bad, and wanted to lose weight, I couldn’t get focused for long enough. For what ever reason.
I kept making myself feel guilty for gaining the weight back that I fought so hard to lose last year. Well, that isn’t doing me any good, is it?
I’ve had enough.
ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!
It took a picture.
One picture from this weekend at a friends wedding. I finally saw what I’ve done to myself.
I’m horrified. Embarrassed. Disgusted.
BUT
Ready!
Willing!
Able!
Capable!
But, most of all I’m motivated to change once and for all. For good.
There is no turning back.

I'm Aimee (Mimi for short)and I'm stuck somewhere between a rock hard body and a fat place. If I don't cure my addiction to icing I'll never fit into skinny jeans! This blog is my journey about weight loss, weight gain (grr), learning to accept my body, and becoming irresistible along the way!

That’s what I’m doing right now. It took one picture to make me realize that I am the heaviest that I’ve been in a while. SO I’m changing my life and I’m determined to do it this time.
Good luck! If you need a weight loss buddy…:)
