Foundation- By Any Mean Necessary

Sometimes you have to go back to the root of it all, sometimes a visit to the mother land is all you need to refresh your direction your vision. Well this blog is a root, it's a mother land.

A brief history for new readers and a refresher for the 3 loyal readers I had.

By Any Mean Necessary aka BAMN started as a blog that followed "ExFatgurl" aka me through my weight lost journey. With the help of gym, an app call MyFitnessPal, dedication and support from family, friends and fellow bloggers- the blog saw me at my heaviest 207 pounds to my lowest 160! That was 47 pounds lost in about 5/6 months.I was focused and you couldn't tell me anything.

Blogging helped a lot it kept me accountable and it introduced me to a LOT because I learn through experiences and I was learning a lot from other people's experiences not only weight lost but everything from outfits, to nail colors/design, to make up, to hair to EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF. Name it I am sure there is a blog out there. This blog introduced me to all sort of wonderful people all by reading their rants.

 [If you want to see old pics/old blog post go to the really older blogs like April 2010]

Eventually BAMN grew some sort of popularity and I decided to venture to a webazine  to help others achieve weight lost success and while it was an amazing webazine aka exfatgurl.com (it no longers exist so don't even bother going) I didn't keep up with it. It was harder for me to put together neutral articles then it was for me to have rants based off my personal experience. I couldn't be neutral and for something like a webazine you need to be. Right?!? I mean I dunno...Doesn't matter anyways it's over with lol

Once the webazine died I started a new blog that followed me on my life journey but again I didn't keep up with it because I didn't find the time to blog or I didn't have a focused. So it's there if you want to check it out go ahead it's alright but it doesn't ever compare to BAMN.

However this Saturday I had an Oprah infamous "aha moment" the moment of  "where is the girl who blogged on BAMN?"- The one who was on this self love journey and WASN'T TAKE SHIT BUT SELF LOVE.

I had found it that summer of '10  but like most things I lost it.....I lost it in the midst of navigating my way through this crap call "adulthood" which I attempted to blog but couldn't because bottom life adulthood sucks and I don't need a blog to point that shit out!  So anyways back to my "aha" moment- I realized I enjoyed blogging about something and being accountable for it, coming back to a group of people who related or not but enjoy seeing the progress. They wanted the follow up. I enjoy being healthier and meeting new goals weeks after weeks. I enjoyed seeing progress pictures and getting a random stranger to say WAY TO GO. I enjoyed it and I miss it.

So here I am almost 3 years later back to my FOUNDATION, to my motherland.Re opening a wonderful stage in my life of growth and trying to find it again just this time I know better then to lose it a second time...So I am back! Cheers to that! I have a bunch of goals that I want to accomplish and instead of waiting for 2013 I AM STARING RIGHT NOWWWWWWWWWW.....Dec 10, 2012...Last year it was April 23 2010 (I've never forgotten that date thats how big of an impact that "journey" was)


Okay this has become long winded and I didn't even mean for it to be long winded so I'll leave it as that and come back tomorrow with the plan for the next few days/weeks/months/years.

I hope you guys are still around, I hope I meet some new amazing people and I hope just like that summer I can look back and look at all the wonderful things I've accomplished.
