The starting point

I have never been skinny... dainty... small... Even when I was a kid I was a chubby little blond girl who played in the dirt with the boys. Well, I don't really care much for being a tomboy anymore I love dressing up and wearing heels. I love doing my make up. But I am still the overweight person that I have been for years. I know.. the american story. We as americans have started to justify our obese society by posting things like "big is beautiful," and it does prove a point that we are beautiful, but are we healthy? Are we doing the best we can to live full and healthy lives? I can point out things that I find beautiful about myself, but I can also face the fact that I am obese and it is a problem. Well... Not anymore. I am going to fill this blog full of personal goals and achievments. I would love to hear feed back from anyone with ideas to help me out on this journey. I am poor, so although the idea of joining a gym, or buying all organic foods sounds great to me I will be doing this journey on the poor mans wallet. And to start out I am going to be very honest with you. I am 5'2 and 301pounds... That is bad and very gross.. I know.. and in your mind your probabaly thinking "holy, cow she's a hippo." But hopefully by the end of this journey I'll be a lot less... I don't have a long term goal placed but I have several small goals. I don't want to become so skinny that all my bones stick out and I don't feel comfortable in my skin, but I do want to be healthy. So this is my journey and I hope you follow me.
