Surprise, surprise! 

Two more days, and I'm actually more than a little excited.

Granted, I'm really nervous about taking a "Biggest Loser" style picture and posting it on here on Monday, but, I need to become more confident with myself-- and I think that's a really HUGE step I need to take.

Tomorrow I believe I'm going shopping with my mom, so I'll be getting some healthier foods to eat and snack on at home and at school. I'll post a list of the things that I get here sometime, along with delicious and healthy recipes whenever I get to try them out! :3 Oh goody.. I get to be a food critic >;D

Anyway, I have an update! <3

While making those devilish Samoa cookies today, I found out that my sister Amanda wants to join me in this battle! I'm extremely excited about her joining me, because I want her to be healthy and feel good about herself too! If she lets me, we'll be sharing this blog together-- pictures, critiques and all.. but so far she seems hesitant about showing "the world" our fatness.. xD I think she needs to take that big step too... and hopefully she'll be able to stick with this journey the whole way and beyond that!

I hope everyone has had a fantastic winter break, and I can't wait to see you on Monday friends! <3

Please be safe, and have a good night!

Much Love,

Emily :)
