Reasoning Behind this Journey

This was me on July 5th, 2011.  GROSS Right.  Besides the fact that it doesn't look attractive to have rolls, I am choosing to do this mainly for my health.  I am 22 and the doctors already telling me I have high cholesterol, and my liver is showing slight problems.  22 Y'all not 77... I tend to be asking myself how did I allow myself to get this way..well honestly the only answer I have come up with is I stopped letting what my mother and everyone else had to say about my appearance matter.  I used to look so good, and I just dropped the ball. Now I have to do this for myself, I made myself this way, so now I have to change for the better.  I had started this journey originally on Jan 1 2011 but in April we moved to Kansas and I have gained all of it back and then some.  So if you aren't with me on this journey to help see yourself to the door.  I am not letting anything stand in my way.  Any questions please feel free to email me at SouthernBelleLiving@live.com or just want to follow my every move follow me on Twitter @SouthernBelleJJ
