So one of my biggest goals this year is to finally get to my goal weight. I have 30 pounds to go, and I want to get there before my birthday in May.

I've found it hard though to not get overwhelmed. I'm no where close to where I want to be, but I'm a lot closer than I was last year at this time. It's still a strange place to be... and part of me is kind of afraid I can't do it.

I've started to fill my head with images of nearly perfect women. I'm trying to remind myself that most of the images out there are unattainable.

So I have a new plan:

My daughter just posted this on her FB page, it's hilarious!

And it's not most of the images out there, Ivy, it's nearly ALL the images! PhotoShop has become so ridiculously prevalent with every picture we see. (My 20-year-old daughter recently thanked me for never having magazine images lying around to influence her perceptions of herself as she was growing up! ;o)

I wish I didn't look at these magazines as a kid. GOOD FOR YOU!! It seriously affected me (and continues to) as an adult!
