Hillary's Hundred Pound Hurdle
My name is Hillary Robertson,
You all know me in some way. If you've known me for any amount of time, you know that I have always struggled with my weight. It has caused me to have low self-esteem and very little confidence and self-worth.
I want to be done with this.
I am ready to fight back.
I have around 100lbs I would like to lose. I know that this is a big undertaking and it will take a lot of hard work and dedication. I am finally in a place to take back the control of my life.
I am finished school. I am working ONE full-time job with benefits. I have consistent hours and consistent paycheques for the first time in my life.
No more excuses. After seeing the amazing success of some very good friends of mine, I've been in contact with their personal trainer. She has done amazing work with them and other clients. She has had many clients lose large amounts of weight.
The biggest thing holding me back right now is the cost. This trainer is about $900 for 36 half hour sessions. This is a lot of money for me to try to come up with at once.
Another reason for my asking for your help and support is because I have a very hard time staying focused and dedicated when I am policing myself. I have a tendency to give up and not fight because I don't think I'm worth it.
If you believe in me and want me to fight for my health and well being, then it isn't solely about me anymore. Certinaly I will be doing this for me and my health, but on days where I am having a hard time or I want junk food, I will think of you and the fact that you believe in me and want me to succeed in this. That will help me to make the hard decisions and keep pushing.
I'm asking for $1000 to pay for my first set of personal training sessions and to help me pay for gym fees. This will also help me to do an initial grocery shop to get the good food and supplies I need to make this work.
I know New Years resolutions are kind of stupid and ususally end in people giving up by February. But I want to dedicate a full year of my life to this. A full year of following a meal plan and healthy eating and making the gym part of my daily schedule.
I don't want to call this a New Years resolution. More of a new ME revolution.
I know that it's a hard time of year to be asking for money because the holidays tend to be a time of spending and penny pinching to give your families christmases. If you can see it within yourself and your financial means to suport me in this endeavour I would really really appreciate the help. Even a donation of $5 or $10 will add up and help me to achieve this goal.
Thank you all so much in advance for believing in me and for supporting me. I need all the help I can get!!
:) Hillary
P.S. I've decided to start up a blog to help keep me focused and to help any supporters I get stay in the loop about my progress. I will post monthly pictures and stats as they change.
