Hidden

I doubt anyone will ever find this blog, I mean in the vastness that is the internet there are probably millions if not more people out there writing down thoughts and events they find newsworthy. I am not a writer, I have never claimed to be, and I'm definitely not creative. What I am is a wife and a mother who finds herself listening to others so much of the time that I rarely get a word in. So this is me, finally having my say.

I decided to start blogging because like most mothers of young children I need to lose weight. I have spent the majority of my adult life over weight, but had worked really hard and looked and felt great about myself up until the point where I became pregnant with my first child, it's been downhill since then. I'm tired of feeling self conscious and comparing myself with other women. And I find it really sad that I have few pictures with me and my children because I don't like the way I look in them. So starting August 1st I am going to press in and start defeating this beast I have been struggling with for so long.

I am also planning on using this blog as a food diary, so if someone does start reading this feel free to scan past what I'm eating. I need to write it down somewhere.

My goal is to look the best I have in 7 years (my 7 year anniversary is just two days away) by the time my sisters and I take a cruise in October 2011...I think this is a pretty attainable goal, when I dedicate myself to something I'm usually pretty successful.

Any thoughts?
