Sure I want to be the mom that Mamavation picks to help loose weight and make healthy choices for herself and her family. I want want to be a motivation for moms everywhere. Moms that are sitting in their house thinking they can’t workout. They don’t have time or money to cook healthy.
Watch Lives Change
I know it can be done – I’m already starting. I’m already encouraging others to eat healthy, drink water and get up and MOVE their body.

For my application – basically a 4 minute video on why I want to be the Mamavation mom – I was going to show how I can give of myself by showing my rolls, my jello, and all the things wrong with the outside. I was even thinking of doing a little exercising, some food tips, and such.

Instead, I ended up crying and showing you a little of the real me- the me that hides food.

    Go for it!! You can do it! I would like to say that you are NOT UGLY! You are beautiful!! You can do this – and you will do this!! Loosing 100 lbs in one year is a LOT – and I don’t want you to be disappointed by aiming too high. One thing that they teach us in weight watchers is to set small goals – 5%, 10% of your weight. That way you don’t get discouraged. So go ahead and set your first goal! When I joined Weight Watchers over 18 months ago, I never thought I would get to my first 10% goal – but I did! And now, 18 months later, I have lost nearly 65 lbs! You can do it!! I will be your personal cheerleader!!

    You are SOOOO beautiful. Fat, yes. Beautiful, YES! It took me years to accept myself and my weight. After battling a long illness, I’ve remained a size 10 for the past 5 years (from my former size 20). Red Headed Mama has inspired me to keep fit and has helped me to completely change the way I eat and approach food. I can’t even remember when I last had a candy bar and I don’t crave or miss them! As a former Snickers and Pepsi addict, that says lots!

    Keep blogging, I hope you win!

    Fat ok. get real about it but ugly you are not. I never want to hear you say that again! I know you can do this. When we talk on the phone I no longer hear a “victim”. I hear a young woman stepping into the path of a VICTOR! You are ready to take on the world.

    Remember that or else I am going to come at you with my Madea attitude :)
