Sticky: Don’t forget to retweet and keep coming up with names for the giveaway, thanks !

People were surprised at how honestly personal I was in my A Wee Bit of Personal Roar. But I’m going to knock it up a notch. As I said in that post, I’m at the worst weight I have ever been. I was a bit ‘chubby’ in highschool, but after wards when I had my job at the nearest mall I lost a lot of weight, I went down to a size six. I walked down and up hill about 45 minutes each way, almost every day, then stood on my feet for a minimum of three hours. I never ate fast food, at the most pizza or chinese food once a month, nor any pop.

That all changed when Kevin came around, my burger and pop intake went through the roof, plus chips and chocolate. I also finished BCIT and started a desk job, and my exercise level plummeted.

Before people can tell me ‘but you already look beautiful’. This is nothing about societies idea of a ‘thin women’ and nothing is pressuring me to be ’skinny’. That’s why I tried not to use the word ’skinny or weight loss’. This is about feeling good and I definitely don’t feel good. I’ve noticed definitely a loss of energy and my back has been a lot worse.

Starting from now, I’m on a fitness plan: no fast food, no pop – and I’m allowed one sweet thing a day. It’s not about losing weight, and being skinny. It’s about feeding muscle and having my body feel good. Since I know all of you will keep me to it :)

And since I’m putting it all out there, just so we know at the end of the six weeks this whole thing worked:

Weight: 140 to 150 pounds
Arm: 11.5 in.
Chest: 37 in.
Waist: 32.5 in.
Hips: 43 in.
Thigh: 23.5 in.
