Motivation
I seen this quote on one of my Facebook friends pages, it said "If you knew how powerful your thoughts were, you would never think a negative thought again." I think a crap ton of negative thoughts on a daily basis. Maybe I should turn those into positive and it will help me. Like "I swear I rock at life." As opposed to "I swear I suck at life." Or, "You are so pretty Jessica." Instead of, "Jesus Jessica, can't you just NOT FREAKING EAT." I guess I am pretty self destructive. Oh well, Tomorrow is a new day right? Or here we go, Tomorrow is a new day and I am going to be totally awesome!!!!!!!!!! That felt kind of good actually!

Reality Kicked In
Okay, so I'm your typical person trying to lose weight but of course we are all individuals with our own stories. & I'm going to share mine!
I was born in raised in a small town in Indiana.A middle class, to lower class family. My parents didn't go to college and both work at factories. I was raised with both my mom and dad. They didn't always get along. They are technically divorced but live together and act as though they are still married. Weird, I know. I have an older sister Kristi, an older brother Grant and a younger brother Brody. I graduated high school in 2007. by then i had already had two jobs of my own, one at fast food chain Arby's and one at a Mexican restaurant Puerto Vallarta. I met my husband my freshman year of high school. Fell deeply in love and still am to this day :) We married 3 months after I graduated. I was 18 he was 20. We moved into a tiny little apartment. I got a new job, tried the college thing, it didn't pan out) with the surprise of all my family. I was an honor roll student. Destined for great things. We rented a house after our apartment for almost two years, then I got pregnant. We bought a house in 2009 which was also the year our daughter was born. I had never paid attention to what i ate, when i ate or why i ate. Obesity runs in my family. So naturally it caught up with me. My highest weight, pre-pregnancy, was 222, and I am currently 200. Ill try to post some pics if I can figure out how.I am now a member of a gym and trying to eat healthier. My goal weight is 140-145. I hope to weigh around 160 by august (my 4th wedding anniversary) and would like to reward myself with a weekend getaway trip with my hubby complete with purchasing that "little black dress" Ive never had & some high heels!!
