How did I get so fat?

April 19, 2012

Pretty on the Outside

Okay, so I actually have a pretty good idea of how I got fat, or at least how I gained weight (they tell me I’m not fat, just a lot thicker). But knowing is only part of the answer on how to get back to being not fat (see photo below).

But being fat, heavier, whatever, is no longer an option. I’m so tired all the time I can barely keep my eyes open. I don’t fit into any of my cute clothes, and I have no desire to be in any photos. Spending last week at Hispanicize 2012 in Miami where cameras were everywhere and seeing the resulting photos was more than a wake up call, it was a swift slap in my formerly health-obsessed face. So I decided to join forces with my new friends at Fit Latina, and put myself on blast for the Being Latino audience to see and hopefully join me in getting fit again. I’ll be updating there weekly, but will be updating here with the more personal stories. First step: red bulls and white bread be gone. *Sigh*
