An Open Book

I have never been nervous to post something on my blog. Today, I am nervous...and super duper excited. Do you want to know why? Well, good, because here it goes.

A few weeks ago I totally went outside of my comfort zone. Way outside...

Jen, a prior fat girl, asked for self-nominations to join her blogging community. If you haven't read Jen's story, I highly recommend it. She has lost 90+ pounds, and has managed to keep it off - even while dealing with huge emotional strains. I appreciate her openess with not only losing weight, but on being healthy (dealing with emotions, exercising, etc.).

Anyways, I digress. Jen asked for nominations, and I nominated myself. Not only did I have to be brutally honest with myself, but also with the many readers. As you all know, weight (and having a healthy relationship with food and exercise) has been a huge issue for me most of my life. But, I am ready for change. Ready to be a healthy wife, mom, and daughter.

If you would like, please read my nomination here.

I have begun to make changes in my life (including counting calories and exercising more), but I would love to be a part of a community that focuses on being healthy, and is able to offer wisdom and support. I need your help. Voting for the next Future Prior Fat Girl is taking place today. Please, consider voting for me. I opened my book, and hopefully you'll help me add the next chapter.
