Love, Yourself (July)

Dear Jia,

Last July, your ward organized a marathon run and you missed it. Not because it was too early (although it totally was) but because you knew you were completely out of shape. But you know what? That was the worst excuse ever. You could have still gone to the marathon. I watch Biggest Loser all the time and they always show those 5k runs and there are hugely obese people in them and they're all inspirational. So stop making excuses not to do marathons or at least go for a walk. I know you have bad knees and hips, but they aren't going to get any better if you don't get weight off of them.

July of last year you put together your bucket list. Cross something off this month.

This month you weighed 258 pounds, and you stopped trying to take care of yourself. Not sure what happened, but we went lazy in July. And we spent a lot of days lounging around in sweat pants and t-shirts.

This is what you looked like in July 2010. This is a screen capture from a video where Josh let you play with fire. We hate this picture. It is not flattering. Stop letting yourself be photographed from that angle. Also, if you've been losing weight, try on that pair of skinny jeans Matt bought you last Valentine's Day when he thought you were a size 16 instead of a size 24W. Just see if they fit.

So take a picture of yourself today, July 2011 and post it tomorrow along with the progress you have made.

Love,

Yourself
