Are what got me to 330 Pounds
Are what got the inches around my abdomen to be taller than my height, for those trying to figure that one out: My height 5'3" which is 63 inches, my abdomen was 64 inches. YIKES!!!
Are what helped me to fit into a size 28 pant
Are what allowed me to wear a size 26/28 top
Helped my joints ache
Provided constant pain to my feet
Caused me to avoid all camera's and camcorders
Encouraged me to ignore mirrors at all cost
Created someone who didn't believe in herself
Brought out the very worst in me
Made it easy to ignore my needs
Festered and festered in each growing pound and inch
Allowed me to eat WHATEVER, WHENEVER
To lose control of my health
Put blinders on reality
Ignored my needs
Fogged my thoughts and feelings about myself
Robbed me of 10 years of my life
Gave me a reason to Give up
GOODBYE EXCUSES, THOSE DAYS ARE OVER, A NEW SHERIFF IS IN TOWN! Today, I wasn't feeling it, I didn't want to work out, I wasn't motivated to do a thing. I signed into Spark and there is was, Message Board: How do you get passed Excuses!
I quickly clicked on the link to take me to the thread, and I wrote:
Excuses led me to 330 pounds, its time to get up and do something different.

After I wrote it, I read other member posts and was so glad that I still have the ability to get up and do something with myself. It helped me focus back on my mission of 2010 to overcome obesity and my addiction to food. So as I am here today, I am so glad that I did go to the gym, I hit the circuit for 45 minutes, I later did a 2 mile walk and I feel great.
Bye Bye Excuses, you are not good for me anymore!

ReplyDeleteYou Rock! This is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteReally like this post!!!
ReplyDeleteFeels good to overcome all the excuses!
Oh yes it does! Thanks for all the support guys!
ReplyDeleteFantastic :) Isn't it wonderful how exercise always improves your mood? I had an absolutely horrid day at work and all I could think about was getting to the gym to run on the treadmill. A year ago all I would have been thinking about was having a cigarette, wine and some kind of high-calorie comfort food.
ReplyDeleteThat solution never really worked, come to think of it. It only made me feel worse.
But exercise always makes me feel better :)
Congratulations on your continued success!
Not so big, I can completely relate to your solution a year ago, give me a cigarette, a few glasses of wine and something fried! WOW, that is who I was. I'm glad to be smoke free for 5 weeks now :) woo-hoo, allthough I do think about smoking occasionally. I can't wait for it not to be a thought ;)
ReplyDeleteGood for you for taking it to the gym! I hope the rest of your week goes great and keep up your great work! I appreciate your support and your feedback!
