Hey! I am Mrs. motivated! I did a fitness video (the firm) last night. I feel good. As much as i hate (and i mean really hate) geting sweaty, it feels just plain good to move my body. I kinda felt like a rusty hinge finally getting WD-40ed. :) Any whoo, I dunno Girls have a ton of pressure from magazines, movies, school, and even parents (me) to lose weight just to look better, and not feel better. I've come to this great place where I know that the "world" wants me to lose weight for beauty purposes, but i'm losing it just so that i can go shopping and not have to shop around the big tire on my tummy, that and i'm looking forward to feeling lighter. Right now i just feel heavy. Does anybody know what i'm talking about?

omg do i know what you're talking about! i don't get pressure from my parents or anything but that tire around my lower belly that i am constantly reminded of when i shop! i'm also doing it for myself. i'm just annoyed at my modable disgusting fat but i'm not feeling much pressure from anyone. i even have a great boyfriend who doesn't want me to change but i'm going to anyways because i need to for myself and my self esteem. i don't want to be lumpy by next tennis season!
