My confessional and an all call

UPDATE---Thank you so very much to the women who have reached out to join me on this journey!  I am so grateful that I'm not gonna do this alone.  I currently have many wonderful women, enough to more than  fill up our support group.  Thank you!  I wish everyone the best in reaching their goals in 2013!

......................................................................................

I have a blog secret.

If you know me in person, it's not a secret at all.  It just is.

But blogs are different.  Easier to reveal {and conceal!} the things we want folks to see.  Literally.

I've had the privilege of meeting several folks in person that I've "met" online and via our blog several times. And there are two common themes to our initial conversation.
The first goes something like, Wow, you really look just like you do on your blog!  I thought you guys might look or act different than I expected.  But you guys are just like I thought!  Which always kinda makes me giggle.  'Cause those really are photos of us.   And those really are quotes that we say and things that we do.  The blog is us and all of our crazy stories.
And the second goes something like, Well, there is more than what you see on the blog.  Stuff you can't put on a blog.  Stuff that's too much or too private or too scary.  I mean it is us on the blog, but there is more to us too.  Because there is more to us than what I'm willing to put on a very public format for one reason or another.

And this secret would be one of those things... a thing that there is more of that I don't really talk about.

Confession time...
It's the extra lbs that I'm carrying around.
Here's the thing.  I don't want to talk about it in public or in private.  I don't want you to know.  I want to live in big fat denial that there are some lbs that have to go.  They. Have. To. Go.  Yet for a long while now (longer than I'm willing to admit) this padding either hasn't come off or has come right back.  

It's time.
It's not a New Year's resolution.
It's just time.

No photos.
No numbers.
I'm just not that brave.
Only my confession.
And an all call looking for couple more ladies who are feeling the same way.

I'm looking for a few women who might be interested in going down this weight-loss path with me.  Women who would like to lose some weight together and meet together in our cyber world and support one another.  Women who would like to commit for a whole year to supporting and helping hold one another accountable to our goals.  Women who would like to be real in a private format, sharing their weight loss journey, and commit to helping a few other women do so too.

Are you this woman?  Drop me a note, and let's get together.  I'll need your email address.

For me, it's time.
