Day 11...Us Chunky Chics Need to Stick Together!

Since I have been posting these blogs I can't help but love the support, comments, and love I have been receiving. I love you guys! One thing I have heard over and over though is I could never put myself out there like you have. Believe me I wasn't sure if I wanted to at first but then I thought who cares. I care and if someone wants to go on there and think I look huge and disgusting then so be it cause point blank I am not doing it for them. But to the person who gets on there and sees me as a person who has a goal and it helps them in some way, those are the people I care about.

When it comes to overweight (chunky) women...we need to be proud! Embrace who you are! You must love yourself before anything will change. I have always had a problem with the way I looked even though you would never have known it by the way I carried myself. Then I went out on a date about 2 years ago now with this skinny guy that I would have never thought would even give me the time of day. On our first date over some wings I made the comment that guys like you normally don't date girls like me. When he asked me why I responded that most of the guys that I see don't approach girls like me because we have some extra weight. He then put me in my place and let me know that not all men are like that. He made me smile. Granted we aren't still together but we remain friends. My point is sometimes I think we sell ourselves short thinking that we are inferior because of our weight and it's just not true. It just took some skinny guy with a big heart to show me that.

I now can say I have a great support system with all my girls out there. I have my mom first and foremost who is ready to start doing 5k's with me (once I can get outside and start training). The there is Jean who I met trying to lose weight over a year ago. We know each others ups and downs on the weight loss journey. We have never met and she lives all the way in N.Y. but I consider her one of my best friends and someone I can tell anything too. Then there is my Alissa. We met through my sis and have had a growing friendship ever since. Tonight she let me know that she has my back in this journey and hope she knows I have hers as well. I cherish our girls night outs and hope there are more to come. I also have talked to some great girls that I went to school with that I haven't really talked to since I started the blog. Thank you Fawn and Sara for the comments and weight loss hints. And the one guy who has been in touch with me...thank you Jay for all your insight I appreciate it all! Please know that I am here for anyone!

So here is how they day went...

Exercise: The Biggest Loser Game
I felt horrible again today but I was going to exercise no matter what! And boy was I happy when I turned the game on and saw that I was doing yoga! So I was able to push through it and felt great after .

Meals:
Breakfast: cereal and low fat milk (150 calories) I am going to try to bulk up on breakfast a little more and make that a bigger meal and cut back on dinner a little (thanks for the tip Sara)

Lunch: Salad (120 calories) I had to put a small one together today cause Cole was just not in the mood to let me eat

Dinner: Chicken, mac and cheese, and broccoli (360 calories) I barely ate any mac and cheese

Drinks:Water only!

Snacks: 100 cal pack, rice cakes, popcorn, ice cream (460 calories)

I didn't eat enough today and was under on calories. I will tweak it tomorrow since I am starting to feel better I should be up early again.

Tomorrow is another day and another blog!
