The Girl Who Cried Skinny

When I was laid off on March 24, 2010, I thought I'd start a weight loss blog. I did, and called it "I was overweight when I was laid off". Unfortunately, I didn't lose weight and the title only sounded like a stand-up comic routine. Years later, I had multiple free-lance jobs and then another real job, and I got tired of saying I was going to lose weight. Now I'm doing something about it, because I don't want to just be the girl who CRIED skinny, but be the girl who is healthy.

Dedicated? Me?

After my walk with my neighbor this morning, I checked my email to find this "badge" from Lose It!

I'm in shock. Really. I have logged what I've eaten, what I weighed, and what exercise I did every day for 4 weeks?! I am seriously shocked. The email I sent to my sister said, "this is possibly the longest I've ever stuck with anything in my life." And that's not being funny. Other than marriage and jobs, I don't stick with things. I really don't. I'm a starter and a "this is too difficult"er. It's why I changed the name of this blog to The Girl Who Cried Skinny.

So anyway, I've done this for a month. A MONTH! And Lose It! says I'm dedicated! How about that?

Go you!! You stuck with the BC newsletter for a long, long time. Badges are cool! What a great incentive.
