Hey everyone! Welcome to my new blog. For those of you who do not know me my name is Nichole, I am an LDS( Latter-day Saint /Moromon) young single adult in my junior year in college majoring in Psychology. Yesterday I was on my way to work when I had an uncomfortable revelation. I really do not like myself. I have struggled with my self esteem for years and years, but yesterday was the first time that I acknowledged how bad it is. On top of that I know that my weight has a lot to do with that. I hate the way I look, I don't see myself as pretty despite my family telling me otherwise. I think a lot of that has to do with me just not feeling good because I am so unhealthy. I do not eat well and I really don't like to exercise. So I talked to my parents last night and came up with a game plan. I am going to run every morning (Yuck!) and eat smaller portions and healthier. This is not going to be easy for me and so to insure that I don't fall off the band wagon I started this blog so that I have to keep record of my progress in a place that other people can see my progress, and maybe help give them the push to help themselves with whatever they are struggling with changing in their lives. I hope it works. Just as a warning I am very religious and I will be posting things that I learn from my daily study of the scriptures, right now I am in the Old Testament for a class, but I will be in other books of scripture. I hope the words I post will give someone new hope. This morning I started with my running. I ran two laps on our treadmill and walked one. So I got almost a mile today and I still have work where I will be doing a lot of walking. Not a bad start! I am also enjoyed breakfast more than I expected too, maybe eating healthy wont be as bad as I thought...wish me luck!
