Hello Friends,
My name is Nesha, I am a wife, mother of two, a daughter, and a sister. I am the 2nd of 5 children and all my life I have had weight issues. Segments of my life dealing with my weight issues, I have blocked out of my mind (I'm sure I am not the only one). I just remember at a young age, in middle school I had the body of a highschool teen and in highschool I had the ideal body frame of a woman; always a step ahead of my time. I sometimes look back at the photos from my high school days and wish I could have my old body frame and weight back now at 31 years old and teetering 290lbs. To have always been a part of a family that is relatively thin it hurt me to the core to always have felt that I was the odd ball in the bunch. I sat on the side-lines so to speak watching my sisters wear clothing that I could not dream to wear while I had to wear clothing in the plus-size section (Never able to walk in just any store and pick a pair of jeans or a shirt off the rack and say, "that's my size").
As I have been blessed to see a new year in 2013 I want many followers, supporters, and friends to journey with me and to help me reach my goals. This is a humbling experience for me to expose myself giving you my all. I now realized that I need help and can not do this on my own, and me saying my "own" meaning without support. I do realize that I have to do my part and make healthy changes and the change begins with me. I'm done with the excuses that I have given over the years rationalizing to myself why I am overweight; at some point a person who really wants to lose weight has to be "Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired." I will tell you what I am doing to implement the changes in my life as I reprogram my mind and body on this journey. I will post pictures!!! I know for me, seeing before pictures and after pictures of people who have gone through major transformation gives me the sense "If they can do it, So can I."
The difference will be that I will post pictures throughout my journey. I hope through this blog I will be able to encourage others who struggle their weight as well. So sit back and watch as I make positive changes and slim to a new me.
