Up lifted but weighed down!

Today’s post has absolutely nothing to do with parties or kids, this one is all about me! I realize that I’ve never really spoken about myself or my life much and if you’re interested here are the stats: Married, mother of 1 (2 year old boy), 31, Jersey girl (not the kind you see on TV), and life long dieter! Ok, that last stat is what the deal is today : / It’s so crazy, I wanted to take a photo for the 1 year anniversary of The Party Muse because it became apparent to me that I didn’t have one. Simple enough right? However, as I shopped endlessly for the right outfit it dawned on me that the last thing I wanted to do was take a picture of myself for all to see. My weight has pretty much been up and down since high school. I was at a great weight for about 5 years during which time I met my now hubby. Insert wedding and baby and now it’s just off the charts and even with the success of The Party Muse, and how happy my everyday life is, it’s like a black cloud that follows me. I really want to be as healthy as I can be and of course have a great photo for The Party Muse so, I think it’s time to try to tackle this weight loss thing AGAIN.

I’m posting a pic of me at what I feel is my ideal weight, at my bridal shower, and another picture is at a recent Party Muse event. I’ll post a picture regularly as a count down to my pro-picture for the website which I think I want to take in January, 2011. If there are any of you that are reading this and are in the dreaded weight struggle too, comment, we can try to encourage and uplift each other 🙂

I’m not trying to turn this into a weight loss blog but I think it’s an important issue that so many people are dealing with. And, when do you think about it the most?….right before a great event where you want to you look your best!UPDATE!: JOIN ME OVER ON MY NEW HEALTHY LIFESTYLE BLOG- http://me-transformed.blogspot.com/
