finally... it's me!Wow. I’m quite amazed at how you all seem to motivate each other. What a great group of challengers! I’ve been very inspired by all of you these first few days of January… I’m so glad I decided last minute to sign up and be part of this challenge. Thanks again, Michelle, for coming up with this and doing all the legwork for it!
I know I haven’t introduced myself properly yet, and I have to apologise for being so late… I was still off work this past week and haven’t been online all that much. And when I finally found the time to type up my introduction, it just disappeared the minute I wanted to post it. Nice. I hope it’ll work this time… :) Ok, so here goes…
My name is Alea and you can find my blog over here. I’m 30 years old and I live in a small and quite rural village in…erm, let’s say… Europe. And I’m fat. There’s about 25 kilos too much of me and I’m determined to change that!
But let me give you a bit of a background. How did I get here? As long as I can remember, I was always the chubby girl. Funny thing is, that when I look at photos of me as a kid, all I see is a normal, healthy girl. I wasn’t fat. Yes, I wasn’t skinny either, but just a normal, average girl. Katie, my best friend, was really skinny though, and next to her I always looked a bit heavy-set. I even remember some boys from my class telling me something along those lines… It made me FEEL fat, even though I wasn’t. Looking back, I can’t even tell you exactly when my weight really became a problem. It might sound stupid, but the kilos just kind of crept on unnoticed… Well, and here I am today, 25 kilos overweight and utterly unhappy with my body and the way I look. I’m tired of being the fat girl. It feels like my body issues are holding me back from living my life. I have to change that!
Now, at the beginning of 2007 I feel as ready as ever to do something about it!I’m looking forward to sharing my journey with all of you, and I’m confident that we can all do this! 2007 will be OUR year!
