Starting Point Weigh In
5 Jan
It’s the first part of the New Year. For many, myself included that means embarking on a journey to get healthier. My journey includes losing weight. A lot of weight.
Today I found myself facing the evilest of all evils…the scale. I knew I had to have my starting point and there was no way around stepping on that scale. So I mustered up the courage and hopped on.
Hmmm…four pounds less than a couple months ago. Well that’s good. Right? Wrong. In the grand scheme of things those four pounds didn’t mean didly squat for what the numbers staring back at me said. Those four pounds don’t put a dent in the amount of weight I have to lose.
And when I say I have a LOT of weight I mean a lot! I’m not talking as in I need to lose 25, 50, 75 or even 100 lbs. I’m talking as in 150 lbs to lose.
Whoa…that makes my head spin. How on earth did I get here? How could I have let myself go like this? But there’s no point in sitting and feeling sorry for myself or wasting time crying over what’s done. It’s done and now it’s time to do something about it.
So here I am sharing my journey with you. Every Monday I’ll weigh in and report back here. I’ll be posting pictures as well as videos along the way. In the end I hope that my story will have touched at least one person’s life, encouraged them that they to can do this!
Here’s my first weigh in video. I have to be honest and tell you it’s really hard sharing this with you! I’m so embarrassed that I’ve let myself go like this and get to this weight! But I decided if I’m going to be real here and share my journey with you then I’m going to share every aspect of it. Sure I can whip up a post and say oh hey I lost _____ lbs this week but actually showing you a video of my weigh in makes it that much more ‘real’.

I’m so proud of you!!!!!! Oh my goodness, to start this blog and to really be honest with yourself and with the world takes a lot of courage. I’m gonna do it with you Tishia!!!! We can do it together!!!! Love you!!!
Mary thank you! It seriously took me a WEEK to be able to finally just post the video! The whole point of this blog is to journal and share my story so that means being REAL and not hiding behind the computer screen anymore. I’m embarrassed that I’m this heavy but I’m proud of myself that I’m doing something about it and stepping out of my comfort zone here! I’m so glad that you are going to do it with me! Accountability makes it easier! Luv ya!
Tishia you are brave for recording and posting this. It brought tears to my eyes. I can totally relate to the journey you are taking. I’ve been reading your blog for the last couple of days & have been inspired by your determination. Keep up the good work

Hey Jessica! It was NOT easy stepping out of my comfort zone and taking the step towards sharing my weight with the world. But after the initial fear of doing it this first week – it’s gotten easier & easier and has been the best decision I ever made. I’m glad I can be inspiration to you
