This is for me as a way of motivation. I don't like to tell people I'm "trying to lose weight" because whenever I hear those words from someone else my first thought is always, hmmm... I wonder how long that will last? I also am secretly jealous when they do lose weight and happy when they gain it all back. So, I'm keeping my new plan quiet except for all you interneters who happen upon this little blog o' mine. So SHHhhhhh, it's a secret between you and me.
My goal is to lose weight. No doubt about it. I'm tired of feeling gross and disgusted with myself. I don't want to run into people that know me because I'm embarrassed at how I look. I don't want to go to certain places and do certain things for that same reason. It's a sad way to exist in this world and I'm really wanting to change.
So I'm starting now. In my head, I've been thinking about this a long time. But now, I'm ready for my challenge so wish me luck!

The Sell Out
This Is Me
- Big Girl
- I think of myself as though I'm a pretty typical hipster kinda gal. I feel like I'm younger than I am and I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do when I grow up. For now, I'm working part-time "for the man," but more importantly, I'm a mom to a daughter, The Little Miss (TLM) and a wife to The Husband. We live in an area of the country where being anything bigger than a size 6 is considered unacceptably large and in a town where movie stars live. I've always been the Big Girl. Growing up it was because I was taller and "big boned." Now I'm the Big Girl because I'm fat. At one time I loved being the Big Girl but now, not so much. This blog is my way trying to be a part of a community that can help each other through our struggles to be who we really are. For me, it's still being a Big Girl just not of the fat variety.

All the best luck to you. I find myself in a similar position and am having a really tough time getting motivated (it seems the more weight you have to lose, the more motivation you need to keep going--and I personally need 100+ pounds worth of motivation. Feh).
It's hard to live anywhere in the United States when you're overweight, even slightly. It must be that much harder to live in a place that is completely image-obsessed. Don't let them grind you up about not being a size 2; remember, their perceptions are abnormal.
I just found your blog. I know what you mean about wanting to keep your efforts to yourself. Some people will actually push food down your face when you are on some sort of a diet! Best of luck!
