Michelle's weight loss journey... Let Freedom RING

Michelle's weight loss journey.. speak freely....
SO hows everyone doing? I havent written in a little while AND i've been a little MIA lately so i should come back and report to the band.

First off... I want to just say I love my friends so much. My fitnesspal family has changed me. Now im not only doing this to help myself but Im doing this so I dont let my family and friends down. the people that have been along with me on this- who have put so much hard work into helping me and motivating me to do well. i owe my 27 lbs to them. i love you all with so much i cant even explain how much you mean to me.

so moving on, I know that im moving in the right direction. im making good food choices. i know i can be better which frustrates me but i keep telling myself tomorrow is another day and i will get there eventually. you have to retrain yourself and i know that rome wasnt built in a day. so im getting there. it just seems like i started off with a BOOM then i've been dragging my hinney a little lately. This week is food shopping week so i need to get out there and get somethings for myself....

ok now- i wan to apologize for my bad behaviour lately. Ive only been logging in to log my food and i've tried to comment here and there but ive been missing some of you, and im so sorry. work and life has taken off lately and ive been so busy i cant even tell you. Ive been changing things around a lot lately as well... so all the changes are a little shocking.

Working is becoming more and more my life and my life is becoming more and more about work. i need to focus and pay some things off so ive been working 7 days a week for most of the month of june and may. I see the light at the end of the tunnel and i know that things will get easier. im so excited for a new debt free furture. I will eventually get there, and im so happy to have almost accomplished that.

so ALSO there is a wedding coming up in sept that im UBER excited about so that's also another FANTASTIC thing. my bestie kimberly is getting married in texas so me and my sister *kittycat613* are going down for the wedding and hopefully getting tattos while we are there. I cant wait for that mostly because I"LL BE ON VACATION WITH MY FAVE PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!! and because i know that when that day comes i'll be free.... free of debt and free of worries. (well almost. its like chap 1 to my 13 chapter book if u know what i mean...)

I QUIT SMOKING!! jeez i forgot to tel y'all about that! i quit smoking! i've had a couple here and there in between but i quit on memorial day and i havent been doing too bad. mostly its been one or two here and there but im not buying anymore ever again. I'm glad too my dad would be happy.

i got sick... ive been coughing like an IDIOT the last week or so.. its comnig from this weird tickle in my throat then this BARRELING cough... nothing is coming up and nothing is coming out of my nose but my head just feels like blah- i know i have to goto the doctors i just havent had the time. i'll make a effort to get there this week for sure.

gosh, what else OOOOOH the skin thing. now for those of you that know me... i weighed 420 lbs when i started this thing. my last weigh in was 393 so ive lost 27 lbs in 70 something days which isnt great but i know its a a great start! i just need to step in the direction a little harder. ive been half-assing this for a couple weeks now. BUT- I was talking to a really close friend the other day. (hes like a brother and we love eachother unconditionally) and he told me that he thinks ill have to have my skin removed beause its not going to go back... REALLY? dammit see thats what im afraid of. who can afford that? i know i cant! and i model!! i cant be walking around with scars... I know i cant be walking around like this either, but i was kinda hoping it would go back as i toned up and got smaller.... i've always been built really thick and solid... i would HATE having everything sag off of me :(

im worrying about nothing i know... just sharing time with the family i suppose.



SO here's to a new life, new strangers, new friends, new loves, new loss, new me! NEW BODY! I love you all.

when i write my book im deicating it to MYFITNESSPAL family. And im listing all your user names in it. is that ok?

also i cant spell... just because im a writer doenst mean i can spell.. so lay off!
