New Year New Me....

Look who the New Year has brought in...

Yes, your favorite your one and only - EX FAT GIRL (The name fits me so well)

Let's get straight to business ~

Really The New Year, is nothing but just that, a New Year instead of 2010 it will be 2011 and it happens over night. Sort of like how we go from Monday to Tuesday nothing big or fancy. So why do we go crazy for The New Year? Why is Jan 1 the so called "beginning to a new me"? I guess cause we like the idea of a fresh start but really a fresh start can happen any day. For me it happened April 23, 2010 (A Friday after eating lunch) it just happen. But like the rest of the world I am going to jump on that band wagon of "New Year New Me". But when I think about it I am actually just taking the "old me" and making the "new me" a "better me" (Damn that was a lot of me)

So today I am continuing on the work that I started, put on pause, enjoyed, hated, etc today I am back at it with the same intense I had on day 1.

Why today I dunno it's just the day for that at least in my calender which leads me to exhibit A.

A quote from Drake famous song "You Fancy Huh":

"You say you dropping 10 pounds preparing for summer
And you don’t do it for the man, men never notice
You just do it for yourself you’re the f-cking coldest"

It was the first song Pandora played for me, the first song on Day 1 (all over again) the first part of the song...so it sort of spoke to me you know and I am not even trying to get all prophetical but it did lol (I think it's funny that a rap song spoke to me, so go ahead and side eye me lol) so umm yeah where was we.....I am losing 10 pounds and yes I actually am preparing for the summer and funny you mention that Drakey Drake I am also doing it for my damn self because he loves me for me and probably won't really notice a 10 pound difference *shout out to him <3 (or will he! Guess we have to find out)....

so umm yeah how did this verse specifically speak to ME! as I am sure it speaks to a bunch of girls ...probably every girl who is in the club singing "oh you fancy huh" and pointing to themselves saying yeah girlll I am fancyyyy......lol

the part that says

"You just do it for yourself you’re the f-cking coldest"

is what screamed at me!!!! Yes people I am doing it for myself and is something I want to tell to my 2.5 readers! When you do something, anything even if its not weight related...the main purpose and reason in doing NEEDS TO BE YOURSELF...YOU....no one else but you....so when I am hoping on the scale I am not really worried about the next heffa and who is ahead of the weight lost game or not, I am not buying clothes and saying damn Jenny Bo Annie is so much skinnier then me and it took her 2 months blah blah blah! I don't worry about the next person quick gimmick. I don't look at no other direction but mine because after all I can only wear one pair of sneakers.

A lot of great people come up to me and say "OMG GIRL YOUR SO SKINNY, STOP IT RIGHT NOW" and I appreciate the love I feel so honor to be some sort of inspiration, model, the yes she did it girl....BUT GIRLLL STOP LOOKING AT ME AND START WORRYING ABOUT YOURSELF and do the damn ish!!!! Stop worrying about what is working for me and worry about what works for you....instead of saying whoa you look so nice...do it for yourself and then lets sit and talk about our experience and share tips!!! DON'T STAY BEHIND.....DON'T BE THE OLD LADY WATCHING ME DO IT and letting time slip from you because you too busy watching me. And when I say me, I really mean everyone that is doing the damn thing in any aspect! So go ahead put some Drake on so he can speak to you too and just do it like Nike ;)

If it ain't broke DON'T FIX IT right....well I am not broken! But I do need some "light" fixing. And here we go to...

Exhibit B -- Eliz_Talks says

"Embrace the new & make the best of the old"

I am def not one to listen to quotes, and all this motivational close your eyes and envision this and that crap (I hate the book the secret just a f.y.i) but sometimes things do speak to me like the Drake song.

I love me, I do so so so so so much because "I found God in myself and I loved her, I loved her fiercely" and that was beautiful and a great accomplishment of 2010 maybe the best one hands down in my book. I found myself and loved every inch of myself even the faults!!!! But like Eliz_Talks said I can make the best of the "old" and so here I go!

Current Weight 163 (Not too bad for some one who been sneaking in sips of soda and now finds it hard to ween off again)

Goal Weight 150...But truthfully at 155 I can and will relax and call it a victory but if Imma aim high, IMMA AIM HIGH ya digz! so 150 is what we aiming for! Whats that quote...Shoot for the moon cuz if I fall I'll fall among the stars...you know which one I am talking about ;)

Goal Date- APRIL 22 MY 25TH BDAY and also the year mark of my change!!!!

Hope everyone had a fab holiday time! Please let me know what you are improving for 2011!!!! Best in luck in accomplishing those goals too


New Year New Me...hope to see you at the finish line

Your truly

Ex Fat Girl
