Finding My Place

BEFORE

And AFTER losing 30 pounds!!!!!!

For the past three and half months I've had mixed feelings about sharing my weight-loss story. I didn't know if I was ready to share with the world that I had gained weight in college (which is not so secret, as many college students go through this). I was ashamed and depressed but as soon as I got out of school, found a job and started making a life of my own, I wanted to change my eating and exercise habits. My family use to joke with me, "I don't understand how you're not a toothpick Sarah, you actually like healthy food," I wanted to say them yeah I do like healthy food but I feel like crap so I'm gonna eat pizza and chocolate and whatever else I want. Hi there, I'm an emotional eater, how are you today?! 

When it came down to deciding if I was going to write this post I felt I owed it to "Sit and Stay A While" and to all of you who follow, comment or stumble across my page. When I started this blog, I had no idea of the direction it was headed, but somewhere along my weight-loss journey I figured out this little creative outlet has become a place for me to hopefully inspire you to live a happy and healthy life, whatever that may be for you. And in return, you have taught me, inspired and shared with me your lives and let me tell you, it puts a HUGE smile on my face at the end of the day!
