the road to fabulous

reinventing myself

Saturday, August 2, 2008

here i am in my second home in cyberspace, posting my thoughts for all to read. the very thought sends shivers down my spine.

but i need to do this. i need a separate home for what i have to chronicle.

i am reinventing myself once again.

for years i have struggled with my excess weight and i don't like it. sure i can make up excuses to silence any complaints or comments from the people around me. but i am here because i'm saying that it will all stop. now. no more excuses.

i want to be ready to re-enter the work force in a few months, and to do that i need to shed at least some of these excess pounds. no employer will consider me seriously if i look like a slob, no matter how well put together my outfit will be or how fantastic my cv is. when i go to interviews with my butt spilling over the sides of the chair, i'm not going to get any respect.

so there. this is my journey to take charge of myself.

step one: lose 50 lbs. by december 2008.

do i even need to talk about the other steps? well, maybe i do. but that's for another blog.
