My First Blog :) 4/26/13

Hello :)

Thank you for visiting! My name is Jaci and I am a first time blogger. I started this blog for a few reasons.
1. A very good friend of mine, Kim, started one recently and turned me onto the idea. Kim is starting a journey into weight loss for her health, and for her grandchildren. She is blogging her journey and I feel as though I would like to do the same.

2. Recently, I have made a few life changing decisions. At almost 21 years old, it isn't odd for me to change my mind a lot! I feel as though I Am at a point in life that I may explore many possibilities without necessarily deciding one way or the other, simply to broaden my horizons to find out exactly what direction I want my life to go.

3. One of these decisions is to begin a journey into weight loss. Not only to look good, or have the body I want, or for superficial physical reasons. I have decided to make this journey simply for my health, my self confidence and my future. The light that I see myself in doesn't include me being overweight my entire life!

Now that you know these few things, I would like to explain a little about myself and where I'm coming from. I hope to help each of you gain a little insight and just have an open mind in stepping in the shoes of the life of someone else.

I'm not going to give you some sob story about having a horrible childhood or being overweight all my life or being depressed and unhappy with the way I look and feel, even though some of that is true. Instead, I'm going to explain things in a bit of a more positive note. A note of rising up from the ground, making something of oneself, and being better than you ever imagined you could be.
Here, I will give you the choice of clicking the back button because you've had enough, or reading along because you might be just a little intrigued!

Thank you for reading, more blogs to come very soon :)
