First Temptation

So this weekend was a rough one for me. Food was all around me as my family prepared for Easter dinner. I think I did ok as far as food choices go but I definitely could have done better. I stayed away from the fried foods, no beef, just chicken which was baked. Lord knows that food smelled so good, it was just tempting me. So instead of being tempted I just drank a bottle of water right before I ate my food which actually helped me get full faster. Now the part I know I messed up on was the SWEETS!! I know, I know.... I should have stayed away but I couldn't help it. The chocolate and jelly beans was calling my name.  And to make things worst, I haven't worked out since Thursday! Ughhh!! So today I'm going to go hard when I do my exercise.  I feel like I let myself down. I got depressed on Monday, thinking about all the bad stuff I ate.  But I thought to myself, everyone makes mistakes; this is my first and it definitely won't be my last. I guess I just needed some encouragement and inspiration. This weight loss journey is tough, but like I tell myself nobody said it was going to be easy!

A Perfect Fit

I feel like I need to explain why my blog is called the perfect fit. Well, I consider myself a curvous obese young lady,  with a sense of style and a love for make up! Anywho...I was in Macy's about 3 years ago with my mom. We both were looking for a dress to go to my God Father's wedding. I'm a bargain shopper of course, so I looked through the racks and found this beautiful satin purple dress (which was in sale for $20). It was a size 18 so I said ok I'm just going to buy it because I know I can fit it. BOY WAS I WRONG! I went home and tried it on and let me tell yall, I couldn't get the dress passed my thighs.  My first excuse was, "it's satin so tge material makes the dress smaller than the actual size." My second excuse was "Macy's aren't for plus size women anyway." So what does any girl do when she can't fit something? Yip I threw that stupid small, pretty stain purple dress in the back of my closet. Of course I was not about to take it back. Why, so I can take it up to the cashier and tell her/him that I can fit it because I'm too big....oh no I don't think so! Plus it was on sale as I mentioned before so i couldn't get my money back. So a few weeks ago, I was doing a little spring cleaning and boom, there she was looking at me. I took it out and just stared at in amazement. My mom seem that I had it laid out on my bed and she said,  "I honestly think you should sell that dress, because you can't fit it." I replied,  "No, because I'm going to wear this dress and it will be a perfect fit. " not only did I pray about it, I took action on it. I started my weight loss to better my health and of course to wear that dress which will be a perfect fit!

The Beginning

Hello everyone,  I'm so glad that you have found my blog. My name is Enchante, I am 23 years old and yes I am over weight.  At first I never really considered myself overweight although I have been this way all my life. The doctors use to tell me how over weight I was and I thought, "you gots to be kidding me, your really trying to measure my body mass index on a chart for the normal american?" I swear I ignored the doctor's and always told them what they wanted to hear. You know the same olé questions they ask you, "are you working out?" "Are you eating healthy foods and using the correct portions?" And as always my answer was YES! I was lying of course because I didn't want to deal with facing the fact that I am obese! The first thing that made scared was when the doctor told me I have Type 2 diabetes when I was only 16 years old. Did that stop me from eating my favorite foods?? Ummm...NO...lol  As time flew bye I was getting bigger and bigger which landed me to my current weight 298, yes I typed it...I'ma  repeat it again 298. That's 2 pounds away from 300 and I'm not having it.  I love the skin I'm in but at no cost will I ever risk my health.  So today is the day I stand up and face the facts: 1.Im obese 2.My health is at risk and 3.Something has to be done. Which brings me here! I need yall to help me help myself and I will give the same support back. I need all positive energy which is gladly appreciated! So feel free to tag along, share your experience as I go through my journey of losing 100+ pounds! If you with me then say this pledge out lound: I promise to always love myself not matter the outcome. I will always keep it 100 with myself. If I should fall I will get back up and start again. I will not fail, because failing is not an option.  I love the skin I'm in but I love my health a whole lot more.  Thanks again for reading my blog. Follow me on instagram @ perfect_fit2014. I will be posting everyday, we'll at least try to! Bye!
