I hate looking at myself right now.  Really, I am so frustrated with myself.  I worked so hard to have this fantastic body and then I blew it.  The minimal weight gain while my thyroid was being diagnosed would have been easily controlled if I didn’t get so pissed at myself and start in with the binge eating.  I am having a really rough time being trapped in this body.

Last night I was out, so I’m wearing this super sexy dress, and as I was walking from bar to bar, my legs were rubbing together.  Let me tell you something, if that ALONE is not enough to make you want to stop eating and hit the gym, I don’t know what would work.  How miserable!  I never really understood what those commercials were about with the chafing or whatever, but that did quite a number on my self esteem.  I felt like a whale! 

I’m still on track though, and I know my body is on my side.  I believe in the whole weight set point theory.  My body likes to be 115 pounds.  I like it to be 100ish, so losing weight below 115 is really hard, but I usually can lose anything over 115 relatively quickly.  At least I hope this still works!

Well, my life has consisted of a series of unfortunate events over the past year, and I went from being in the best shape of my life and training for a fitness competition to, well, fat.  I am more frustrated with myself than I can even tell you, so I am going to start keeping this blog to motivate myself to get back to where I know I can and want to be.  Any/all support is welcome.  Here we go…:)

Hi everyone!  My name is Krista, and I’m determined to get myself in the shape of my life!  I’m a former cardio addict, but have been doing resistance training for the past 2 years or so.  It wasn’t until about 2 weeks ago, though, that I decided to shake things up a bit-I started lifting heavy weights and lower reps.  I’ll upload pictures as soon as I get a chance, but I’ll warn you–it’s not a pretty sight at this point..that’s why I’m here; I’m changing..and it starts now.
