The Awkward Post

I always think the first of anything is just incredibly awkward, first dates, first kisses, first days of school, and first blog posts. I mean what do you say? How do I introduce myself to the internet, to potential thousands of people but probably just my family? Well here we go anyway.

This blog is going to be about me, conceited I know, it is going to be about my weight loss journey and how it has looked for me. I hope that even if one person reads this that it may make a difference for them.

Before I started loosing weight I would look at health blogs and try and figure out if I could do this or not. And instead of finding hope and inspiration I would find the same old 'eat healthy and work out' theme. On paper sure that is what you have to do but if you are anything like me there are lots of other battles that come along with it. I hope to be a voice to those struggles, talk about my success and my failures, talk about why loosing weight is both the best and worst thing happening in my life right now, and talk about food because that is all I think about some days.

Now on to who I am I guess, my name is Zoey and I am currently the kick butt age of 21, when I started this journey I was not sure what was going to happen. I am stalling right now because I am so scared to put what my starting weight was. I have never told a soul, not even my family.

When I started this weight loss journey back in June I clocked in at 386 pounds. For perspective that is more than a baby elephant weighs at birth. It was tiring and scary but I thought that it was so out of my control there was nothing I could do about it. However there is and was something, and I am so proud to say that after 62 days I have lost 50 pounds!

I want to share what that has been like for me, and the rest of my journey because it is so far from over. Again the awkward part where I do not know how to end this...

With love and muchies,
Zoey
