Meet the Dieter

Hello there.

You may wonder why am I dieting? Why am I choosing to start a blog about it? What makes me and my blog interesting enough for you to take time out of your day to read it? And lastly, why am I so special?

I picked my New Year's Resolution back in September. Though, I have always struggled with my weight, I have never made a new year resolution before now. I have been on many diets in my life. Some have worked while on them, but most have not. I hate exercising. My favorite activities are more sedentary like book reading and puzzles (not the jigsaw kind, but the brain teaser kind). I'd much rather exercise my mind than my body.

I'm a mom. It is the most important and most fulfilling aspect of my life. My daughter is my joy. That being said, I learned I was out of shape pretty quickly. At a year and a half, my daughter is twenty five pounds. Carrying her up and down stairs leaves me winded. Running around after her leaves me tired. I need to lose weight so my activities with my daughter never get limited.

I don't know if this blog will be interesting for everyone. However, I know alot of women are in the same position that I am in. I am not a food guru. I am not a nutrition expert. I'm just a girl who wants to lose enough weight to feel better about my health and appearance in a bathing suit!

And to answer that last question, I'm not special (in the subject of dieting). I am just like you. This is why I have started this blog. If I can encourage one other person to do the same thing for themselves then I'll be one happy carrot eating momma!
