About Me...

I thank you for taking time to read my blog. First off there are a few things you should know about me my name isn't Amalily its my pen name. I find it easier to be me & say the things I need to say here without worrying if anyone I know will find out its me. There are a few people in my circle of friends who will know about the blog & trust me when I say few I mean VERY few.

As for the name Amalily its a mixture of my two favorite flowers Amaryllis & Calla Lilies. The reason for this blog is to document my journey into the wonderful world(sarcasm) of weight loss.
As for the name of the blog Losing The Outside While Finding The Inside. By that I mean I want to lose weight while finding my inner healthy person I know she is in there dammit. I have been overweight for many & I mean many years but I can say I have never been in denial about my weight I know I am grossly overweight & the longer I have all this weight the shorter my life is going to be.

I am going to be 30 in a few months & it has dawned on me that if I don't do something about my weight I won't live any longer then my mother did. She passed away last year at the young age of 57 she died of a massive heartattack & in all honesty I don't want that to be me I want to live for as long as I possibly can & the first step in doing that is taking care of myself & taking the steps I need to in order to get this weight off. I have a variety of health issues in no particular order high blood pressure, type 2 diabites, pcos, lymphodemia, & a back problem. I am sure there are people out there with more problems then me but honestly that is enough for me.

So that is enough about me for now I am sure as this blog progresses I will tell a little more about myself. I hope you all stick around for the journey with me.
