Hi Everyone!
My name is Marissa Acker and I have reached my max! I am 24 and have two children and from the time I have been married (5 years). My current weight is 181 and I used to weigh 135. I have gained the grand total of 36 pounds! I gained 10 my freshmen year of college (a year before I was married), which brings me to 46 whopping, pounds. Ouch, it hurts to say it, but I have come a final end and have decided that a size 12 is unacceptable especially when I was a size 4/6. I love food so much that I have let it take control of me and I feel that it is time to say good-bye to all the fat. I need to find the joy in being healthy and I know that I can do it. I know how to lost weight because I have done it before. When I got pregnant, I stopped caring, but if you keep a regimen you do see results. I have to tell myself that all the time. I lose hope especially when the pounds are not coming off as fast as I want them to be. It is time to care and it is time to be healthy. My body should never have to be at risk for health, I am way to young! I will be journaling about the things I eat, the exercise I do and the of course the bad days where I stress and lose self control. Yes, that is right the ups and the downs of weight loss. So Goodbye yummy fatty burritos and delicious sweets and here comes a healthy lifestyle that allows me to eat these things in moderation and be joyous. I hope to blog as often as I can. Daily affirmations, challenging workouts, and exercise tips. I will weigh in twice a week. Pictures will accompany each monthly progress post.
