BeautiQueen: Becoming a BeautiQueen

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not lacking confidence. I know I am awesome and amazing, and can do anything I set my mind to! Well almost anything. There has always been one thing that has stood in my way, or weigh, from truly being able to do anything. My weight. It sucks! I have always been in a battle with the scale, and often with those closest to me because of my weight. In general, I don’t think that is should have been as big of a deal as it has become in my life. Both my parents are adorable and in quite good health. The only relatives that I can really remember from my childhood that ever really had a weight problem are my paternal grandmother, and my favorite uncle, who, by the way, was so much fun that it wasn’t really something that I noticed until I got older! So I don’t really understand why weight has been such a big (no pun intended) thing in my life.

Over the next 100 days I will be reading the book 100 Days of Weight Loss by Linda Spangle and attempting to blog my experience as my journaling. I have found so far in my journey, the more accountability I have the more my 1^st born tendency’s seem to kick in and I do what I say because I don’t want to let anyone down. If that is what it takes I am willing to do it!!
All this to say that I am finally going to do what I have always said I would do, lose weight. I know that this will be the most difficult thing that I will ever have to do in my life, but hey, I am awesome and amazing! And I would like to prove to myself, and others, that there really is nothing that I can’t do!!
