Howdy folks! It’s 2012 and I am finally ready to take control of my weight, health, and life in general. As the title says, despite the time of year that I’m doing this, the inspiration behind “What Motivation Looks Like”  was not born out of some half-assed new year’s desire to lose weight. I am at a place in my life where I feel like I need to finally get in shape to improve my overall quality of life. I’m tired of being limited in terms of wardrobe choices and dare I say… dating choices :/.  Everyday I read some post telling me how fat, unattractive, undesirable, and unhealthy black women are and I am sick of it. I want to chronicle my battle against the bulge in a way that is new and somewhat unfamiliar to me and Tumblr is the perfect avenue to do it! This is not some fashion/ Outfit of the Day cutesy blog. This about food choices, weight loss, and staying true to my goals and desires. Oh, and so my mom can’t call me her “Big Baby” anymore. LOL. 

Also, my friends and I are challenging each other with a 5 month weight-loss challenge!  We each put in $100 and the winner takes the pot! I plan on taking their money and sashaying my sexy self to the nearest beach! I want Beach Bikini Pics too damn it!!!
