Ok, So far I only have one main goal. Don't get me wrong there are SEVERAL areas of my life I feel the need to change/ or improve, but there is only one area that I have a set direction for. I want, no, I NEED to lose weight. Right now i am in between a size 16 and 18. Granted I am also 5'11, so i can carry my weight relatively well, but i still want to lose it. I will put in exact numbers when I have them (which will be when I get back to the states in about a week). Where I want to be. Ideally a size 2, but i want this to work so i am going to be more realistic. At this point I will be ecstatic with a size 8. When i get there i will re-asses.
One thing to Always remember when you are trying to change something about yourself, whether it be career, weight, hair color, class, whatever. DO IT FOR YOU!!! Now i would lie if I said i didn't think losing the poundage wouldn't help me get this guy i really like (i will do a post about him later). But in the end it has to be for me or i wont stick to it. When taking on something that is going to be difficult (it sure as hell isnt easy) you have to yearn for it, you have to do just more than want it. It needs to be something you can dedicate your mind and body too and over come every obstacle that hits you. To help with that i am reading a book that gives some great motivation. Secrets of a Former Fat Girl by Lisa Delaney. http://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Former-Fat-Girl-Sizes--/dp/0452289246/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1290427219&sr=8-1
I am not done with the book, but so far its given some great tips and tricks that my next post will briefly outline. This book is NOT just another diet book, it doesn't outline everything you eat for the next 4 months of your life. This book addresses more the psychological strengths it will take to make it to a Former Fat Girl. I STRONGLY recommend picking it up. Well worth it.

Why I doing this
The short answer, because I can.
Right now I am 22 years old, I will be 23 in a few months. Now I in no way ever expected my life to be complete at 22, i didn't expect to be married by now, or to have my dream job, or anything like that. And i don't, But i did expect to have an idea of what i wanted. At this point i expected to have an idea of who i am and what i want out of life. At this point I honestly don't know. I am writing this blog to figure that out, to get an idea of who i am and where i want to go. I am a goal oriented person, but i find myself without any real goals. I don't know what i want to work towards.
Ok so a little background on me. Right now I am in Seoul, South Korea. I really don't have a place i live at the moment, but for the last few months and the next week i am staying with my friend Jared in his little studio apartment in Bundang. He is out here teaching English and i am here visiting trying to plot my next move. I have been here since sept and I still have no idea. I mean i have a place to stay when i get back to the states, I am actually staying with Jared's dad, and i am taking a few classes at Rio Salado hoping to earn my degree and maybe move on to a 4-year university, but i don't know which one, or what to study.
Look this blog will have a little of everything. I will be writing about everything from work, to school stuff, my love life, my last attempt to lose weight and become a former fat girl (lets hope its the last), and me trying to figure me out. This is a place i am going to write about things that make me think, emotional things i need to get out of my systems, and hopefully a few good memories so i can look back and reminisce.
