Not A Robot Blog

First of all, if you came here looking for a blog about Transformers, then I'm sorry. You're going to be disappointed.

I am on a journey to make the me on the outside look like the me on the inside.

I turned 26 at the end of last December. At the time, I was over 220lb, my nails were bitten to stubby little nothings and my teeth were definitely showing the signs of my dental phobia.

This year, it's all change and I'll be blogging about my progress here.

I like myself. I know who I am and I like who I am. But I don't like the way I look. I don't look the way I want to and the way I look doesn't match with the view I have of myself. Oh, I wasn't one of those people who constantly moaned about it without doing anything about it. Not that I DID do anything about it - I shut up and put up.

But no more. I want more out of life and I want more out of myself. Changing how I look will help give me the confidence to get the life I want. It's started. It can only get better.

I stopped biting my nails in February. Somebody actually asked me if my nails were real the other day! That's the easiest step. I changed the way I eat and look at food in April and as of today, I weigh 199lb. There's still a long way to go but it finally looks like it's possible. And I've booked an appointment to see the dentist in June.

I won't leave 2013 looking like the person I entered it as.
