A Fresh Start

I have been secretly writing a blog about my weight loss. It is true, it is real, and currently it is private. I have not had the guts to share it with anyone.  While that makes me feel safe, it also makes me feel frustrated as I can not share the good news. I started the blog when I was considering trying out for The Biggest Loser. So I am considering opening it to a select few. Like I said with my last post, I am not even sure that anyone reads this blog as I do not update very regularly. If you would like to read the blog (and the pictures are not pretty people!) leave your e-mail address. I probably will not invite everyone, because there are some people who do not understand what it is like to deal with real weight issues, so if you do not get an invite, please do no feel offended. This is hard to share this. But this journey is real.

And oh, I have even more of a reason to lose some weight. We are vacationing this next year, probably in the Western Caribbean (if we do not decide to go somewhere else with our littles!) and so that means me being in a swimsuit. So it is do or die!

Congratulations on the journey you've undertaken. I think it's a great idea you're inviting a few personal friends to join in your success. No matter what our struggles are, it is always better when we can share our struggles and triumphs with others.

Good luck on your journey and enjoy every successful milestone along the way! You are an incredible person, Emily! Thank you for sharing your heart on your blog :)

Emily, I was looking at the list of blogs on IHH's facebook page and something prompted me to read your's. You inspire me. And your writing is beautiful. Weight loss has been a struggle for me for years. I managed to lose 30 pounds and then got pregnant with Olivia (my heart kiddo). I gained it all back and then some and you better believe I haven't lost a single pound as we've dealt with her health issues. I was just telling my husband last week that it's time to get serious and I could use any motivation that I can get. Any chance I could get an invite for your blog? No worries if you don't feel comfortable.
