Well, my name is Caitlin and one of my new years revolutions was to start a blog. A very open, and honest blog about my journey to self acceptance. I'm not going to hide anything or censor myself so if you find colorful language distasteful then leave. Now.
A few weeks ago, I celebrated 21 years of not being in my mother's womb. Got hammerfaced. It's only proper. I have a dog name Bear (corgi/pom) and I love him more than 99% of the population. I have a terrific boyfriend whom I love to pieces as well. He has a cat we named Kitten who is deaf. And inbred. I'm going to college to get into marketing, but would like to become a bartender on the side. I mostly don't enjoy my job, for the simple fact that I'm a people pleaser and most people are not pleased to get a call about a subpoena. And then they yell at me. I can rap the entire song "Look at Me Now" with Chris Brown, featuring Busta Rhymes. I'm a pianist, but I haven't played as much as I used to. For the most part, I consider myself a pretty self confident person. I have a great family, a great boyfriend, a great circle of friends, a great dog, a deaf cat. I consider myself beautiful, fairly intelligent, mostly funny, and extremely driven (when I want to be). But there is one thing in particular I'm looking to change...
I'm what you might call fat.
I weighed myself at the beginning of the year and came in at a whopping 221.6 lbs. Some people might be embarrassed to post that in such a public way. But this is how I see it... it's not like you can't tell I'm fat by looking at me. There's a certain point at which it becomes difficult to hide. I got my body fat percentage today and let's say I'm about 6% away from being a jellyfish. In all honesty, I don't have a huge problem with looking like this. What I DO have a problem with is being unhealthy, especially considering my family's track record. So I've decided I'm going to try everyday to be a little healthier, and I'm going to let everyone know how it's going. And HOPEFULLY by the end of this year, I'll be a lot healthier. Only time will tell...
Come do my stupid idiot workout tapes with me, mi amore! They make me feel like death, yay! This is Bridget, by the way. My blog hasn't been updated in a while cause it's hard to have a fashion blog when you don't have a photographer, Kirk's gonna help with that :D
ReplyDeletePS Did you make this jellyfish themed to keep you brother from reading it? Clever girl.
Lol no although that is a good idea. I did it to go along with the fact that I have become a jellyfish. That's a cute way to think of my body shape as far as I'm concerned.
ReplyDeleteHaha, you're the cutest jellyfish ever :D
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you for wanting to get healthier! As you know, last year I went on my own journey... part of my motivation was vanity, but my lipid levels and glucose were all out of whack, so I also did it for health reasons. Gordon B. Hinckley was such an eternal optimist, and one of the things he said was "do a little better today than you did yesterday", I love that statement... we can all do a little better today than we did the day before, and that's how progress is made!! Good luck on your journey, you are a beautiful, funny girl and I wish you success :)
