2010-09-22T16:16:06.594-07:00

Good luck with your transformation. I can certainly relate. I enjoyed the being-in-shape-without-even-trying phase until the mid to late 20's and then it jsut all went downhill lol. Good for you for implementing some controls early on.

I nominated you for the Sunshine Award. Check my blog for details.

2010-09-15T12:48:57.784-07:00

Hey! Thanks for the shout out! It's true, I was 20 lbs heavier about a year and a half ago. I actually felt like it wasn't where my body wanted to be in its natural state. Now, my body comfort I feel comes from knowing that I don't waste my life away at my desk job, that I make time for physical well-being (being outdoors is my inspiration), and looking like I feel (which is just plain good about myself).

OH! And, I fought the feeling of "negotiating" with myself about why I didn't need to work out, or why I should cut my workout short. I know you know what I'm talking about! That little devil on the shoulder who tells you you're tired at mile 1 and that 2 miles is just as good as 3. Flick that bastard off your shoulder...I had to force myself to stick to my little goals and in the end, I enjoyed the reward of knowing I pushed myself and didn't give up. 100% is a lot more rewarding than 80%.

So, good luck to you! I look forward to the post of your well-known hot little body, Miss Khalia!

Ummm...I am loving this post! I am so proud of you for posting this, as so many of us struggle with weight as we get older. I've been working a sit down job for almost 10 years now, and it gets harder and harder to keep the lbs off! I am right there with you girl!

I ran across your blog on the hairlista network and I like it. We all have those bad weeks. It's the good ones we live for! Can't wait to see updates from the making yourself over pics.

Hi Khalia,

I'm glad I discovered your blog. You are so open and real. I think many women feel the things you wrote about but sometimes we are reluctant to admit.

We all change - and hopefully evolve as life goes on. And while we may not enjoy some of the physical changes, those changes can help us realize that there is more to us than what we show of ourselves on the outside. Only then does true inner beauty radiate allowing us to become our most beautiful authentic selves... Something tells me you are well and truly on your way.

2010-07-21T19:38:27.563-07:00

I'm glad you're back! Let me say, I understand where you're coming from. It's a different ball game when you're transitioning into another era in you're life. I was feeling the same thing when I turned 29 and found myself kicking 30 in the butt. Here is is 10 years later, and I've notice other changes that precede the next decade. While you may not want to hear it now, I have to say baby girl please don't be so hard on yourself. It often breeds depression. If you keep your head about yourself, your life will follow your words.

If you get a moment tomorrow, check out my blog where I have an interview with Carla Triplett who weighing in at 379 pounds still considered herself a sexy mutha you know what. If you don't feel confident now, fake it til you make it.

Ok, we have talked about this whole post-25 apocalypse thing... I hear you. The whole not-drinking idea piques my interest too. I toy with it, but then I come home from work and want a drink. One of the perks of being a grownup, right?

I guess I didn't really know you before the scary 20s (ha), but for what it's worth, I think you really look great and have nothing to worry about!!

2010-07-19T07:28:45.588-07:00

Thanks, Claire!!! We were both quite the cute little TWIGLETS in high school so it's nice to hear we've been in the same boat. I'm very intrigued by the whole, No drinking for 3 months idea. I've actually been toying with the idea anyway so you kinda just reaffirmed it for me! I think I'm gonna do it!
