Me, myself, and all my glory. I haven’t taken pictures of myself like this in over a year. If you don’t acknowledge the gain then it doesn’t exist, right?

216 lbs of moi. (Does my back really look like that??) In these pictures I’m not trying to desperately suck in my stomach or twist my body into awkward positions in order to get my “best side”… and I’m ok with that.

Where’s my face you ask? Truth be told I’m not comfortable showing my mug on here just yet. In time I’ll be able to do it, just not today :)

peace + love + cupcakes: Reasons for losing weight:

missmarisol:

I was reading this post on reasons for losing weight. While I know being healthy is probably everyone’s number one reason, there are other reasons why we want to lose weight. In no particular order here are some of mine:

To feel confident in a group of people. I’ve always considered myself an…

Thanks for this!

I feel the exact same way! Even though my main goal is to live a healthier life, I know that there are other reasons I want to lose weight. I’ve passed up so many things because of my weight and worrying about what people will think of me. I like to think that I’m pretty outgoing but then again, I’m only outgoing when the things I’m doing are within my comfort zone. I get upset when I think about everything I’ve let myself miss out on because of my weight. I haven’t been living, I’ve only been doing the bare minimum in order to get by and that’s not enough for me anymore.

I'm Fixin' to Live

Let me introduce myself, my name is Jo, I am 24, overweight, fed-up, and tired of the way I live my life. This isn’t the first time I’ve started a “watch me get fit and turn my life around” tumblr, NOPE! A year ago I went through this same process and while I made awesome progress, I fell back into my old ways and packed on the pounds. Did I do anything to rectify the situation? NO. What did I do instead? Stuffed my face with peanut butter cups. <- Woah peanut butter cups, quit being so f’ing delicious!

I’ve recently gone through some huge changes, both personal and professional, that have forced me to stop running away from my issues. I’ve been blaming my weight gain on everyone and everything but myself. Am I now taking responsibility? Yes. I’m working towards becoming fit and healthy all around, for myself and for the future. Through this little tumblr I hope to connect with others who are striving towards the same goals.

As Ne-Yo would say, “It’s now or never, ohhhh ohhhh. Let’s go, tomorrow’s good tonight is better ohhhh ohhhh”. <- On replay for DAYSSSSS.

Current Weight (7/28/12): 216 lb
