I've always been the "big-boned" girl. I wasn't really heavy just bigger than most of the other girls. Even in junior high when I played basketball with two-hour practices six days a week, I still wore a size 10 or 12. My family would always say, "Sarah, you're not chubby, you're just big-boned." All the while commenting on what a skinny-miny my sister was. I latched on to the the idea of being "big-boned" to make myself feel better, but I think deep down I saw it as just another way of saying chubby, except it made it something unavoidable. All the while I was very concious of being bigger than most other girls.

As an adult, my weight has hovered right around 200 lbs, going as low as 180 and as high 222. Being overweight has really shot my self-confidence, and that low self-confidence has been pervassive, affecting many areas of my life. It just makes me miserable.

In an effort to overcome all of that, I've started diets and workout plans many times. I always start really enthusiasticly and then after about a week I lose motivation. Hence the fact that I bought my first Beach Body program in 2006(Slim in 6), and have since purchased, Turbo Jam, and P90X, and have failed to make it through any of the programs.

I've decided to give it another go. This time I'm starting with Slim in 6 and then, hopefully, I'll work my way through the other programs. I'm really attempting to commit this time, and avoid procrastination and temptation. Let's hope that I can make enough of a change to make this thing work.
