And no, I assure you all, I don’t want to be a size two or four. I am looking to be HEALTHY. I like having curves, I like the way my hips move when I wear heels. And I absolutely love when my significant other can grab me by my hips as we dance or do other things *blush*. I want to be able to avoid having a stroke when I am older, I want children (two), I don’t want to get cancer or high blood pressure, I don’t want to be borderline diabetic or scared that my heart will fail. I have a lot of chances *thanks to family genetics* to tear this body apart and my habits have not been healthy. I know this and I have recognized this now.
I know that this will be a long and arduous road ahead. I am completely aware of it but since I am a writer, I wanted to have people read this and get some support from outside sources. And I, in turn, want to support each one of you who aren’t dieting to look like Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan. I want to support those of you who are facing the same task as I am because you want to look better and feel better about yourselves or you want to have children or not risk having high blood pressure. Or perhaps, if you just want to have better sex. That’s always a good reason. :)
I know there’s no way to finish a first draft but I am truly excited to be doing this and I am excited to see what others have to say about it ...
Until Thursday (day two of my lifestyle change), love to each of you!
