Creation Explanation

So I promised you all an explanation as to why I decided to embark on this vain journey I call a personal blog.

If you know me personally, you know I enjoy talking about myself. I mean....who doesn't?

If you don't know me personally then......sup? A/S/L (kidding.)

Ok really reason numero uno for starting this blog is because I'm starting this stupid weight loss journey. And I need something to hold me accountable. I feel like if I am sharing my personal information for all those out there who care to read then maybe it will keep me going.

Lesbihonest. I have started this "journey" many MANY times. I have always failed. Well when I went to have a procedure at the doctor a couple of weeks ago and I saw my disgusting weight I knew I needed to do something. Like..now. Perhaps I will share that weight with you in the future, once I've lost some of it.

I remember my doctor telling me when I was 16 that I needed to start exercising.

"Say whaaaaat? Yeah right." Said skinny 16 year old me. Okay maybe I was never SKINNY per-se, but average. I was not overweight but since obesity runs in my family it was advised that I started on a healthier lifestyle then instead of waiting.

Wish I had listened.

Stylish 16 year old me

Here I am.. almost 10 years later.. and a good 40 pounds heavier saying "JULIA... GET OF THE DANG UM COUCH AND DO SOMETHING"

or even

"JULIA. STOP ENGAGING IN THAT RECREATIONAL DRUG THAT MAKES YOU EAT AT UNGODLY HOURS OF THE NIGHT."

Ahh high school Julia. And college Julia.

So anyways, watch me try to lose weight via blog, or whatever. If I actually lose some maybe I will post the GOD AWFUL before pictures I took last week. Oh man do I need to become an after picture more than anything.

This blog will also be a vehicle to communicate the many (many) awkward things that happen to me on a daily basis. It's kinda like Murphy's Law, Julia style. If something awkward can happen in a situation, it WILL happen to me.

And I'm starting a new job at the end of April which will likely lead me to many awkward encounters. I just can't WAIT. (sarcazm)

So this blog will not be like my food blog. This blog will be me. Unedited, unashamed (word?), unfiltered ME.

Are you as excited as I am? Subscribe to my posts, you'll be delighted daily.
