Last Week

It's been 12 weeks of being on a diet and exercising. I must say that even though I didn't reach the weight I wanted I'm glad i did this anyways because it was a great start and it just shows how hard losing weight is for anyone and how much of a struggle and temptation it is. 12 weeks ago I was 197lbs! Today I am 180.8! I know I am still 10 pounds away from the goal I wanted to reach but i still lost 17lbs which to me was amazing, but I can lose a few more.

On a side note my fiance and I have set a wedding date, which I'm extremely excited about. This has given me more of a motivation to keep losing weight. I'm a realistic person, I don't ever plan to be a size zero or look like a model. I guess in part it has to do with the fact that I am latina and curvy , but at the same time I am comfortable with my body and accept who I am. A lot of that has to do with my losing weight and going down a pant size. It has made a big difference in my own self confidence, but just like any other girl there will always be something I would like to change because no one is perfect. So if i can lose another 15lbs from here until August (which is when I will go wedding dress shopping with my mom) then I will be content. I'll try to keep you posted. ;)
