30 day shred is here!

OOOOOk readers! Im gonna need your support! I have been reading someones blog that has motivated me to get back in shape. Im not horribly out of shape or obese, but I did look back at how much I weighed when James and I started dating... and well a little over three years I have managed to gain too much weight! I weighed 110lbs when I met James and well... I weigh 163 now!!! WHAT THE HECK! 53 pounds in 3 years! NO WAY! So I have been easing into the Jullian Micheals 30 day shred... and today I hit it full force! I will post pictures later of the beginning so we can all see my progress :)

Now... I know that I have to do this the healthy way. The way I got to under 100lb was NOT healthy mentally or physically. But I am in a good place now, and feel like I can diet safely. I have enough people in my life that know about my struggles and are ready and able to cheer me on and be supportive and to make sure that I dont go to far. That is the hang up with an eating disorder is that you are ALWAYS recovering. It is a daily struggle of whether you love yourself enough to eat something. And my problem is once the weight starts coming off (I loose weight easily) I begin to eat up the compliments and KEEP loosing weight that I dont need to! But like I said, I am in a good mental place now... and I am ready to get skinny again! The good kind of skinny!

I know I have new readers, so If you haven't read my entire blog... which I dont require.. .hehe But I do like to share my story. Especially with my new "shredder" friends... haha because I know how silent an eating disorder can be. I want everyone to be aware of how easy it is to go to far. So heres the link to my story... http://onerosesbeauty.blogspot.com/2009/03/recovery.html I dont post those things to say looky looky at me... It is to raise awareness for yourself and those around you. More people than you realize are struggling or have struggled with anorexia and or bulimia and if we can recognize it and get them help I really feel like major strides can be made in recovery!
