About Me
- Overcoming Obesity
- I'm 34, 5'3" and weigh in at 330 pounds. I'd love to say I don't know how this happened but I do. As an emotional eater, food is my friend and my worst enemy. I have not always been overweight but somewhere along the way, I found myself turning to food to cope with everyday hustle and bustle, stress, depression or to celebrate happiness. I can no longer hide behind food nor can I stand to watch myself gain another pound. I am very fortunate not to have diabetes, high cholesterol or blood pressure. I realize I am playing Russian Roulette with my health, it's time to break the cycle. Join me over the next 365 days as I work towards changing my relationship with food. I've tried many times and have failed, I hope with my Blog I will become more accountable. I will post things about exercise(or lack there of), food(binges included) and life as I know it. I will do my best not to bore you... my journey will begin on January 1, 2010. Lets enjoy the year together! Cheers to discovering health, mental well being, overcoming obesity and my addiction of food.
*Clapping my hands* I believe!!! I believe!!!

Hang in there! You have come so far! You are worth the effort!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, don't you quit. Don't you do it! You have done such a good job, but only you can ultimately make this happen. Set a target goal you can reach in the very short-term, or find a weight loss buddy who will help to keep you on track - something, anything! You worked so hard for the success you've had so far. No going backwards! Find that motivation and start that journey downward again. You can do this!!
ReplyDeleteHere's my motto girl...one day at a time. It only takes that one good day to link together the rest of them and get back in the swing of things. You do know you're worth it, right? Don't let all of your progress slip away from you...I know the regret that will cause all too well. Save yourself now...get back at it girl...you'll be so glad you did...and we'd love to hear from you more often. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you....I won't quit either. Pray for strength, determination, and willpower.

You have to refocus! You have so much support! Don't let it slip through your fingers! Grab on tight and hold on! You can do it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! Read motivational books or have friends call you. It's hard but you can totally do it!
ReplyDeleteYou can do this! Time to re-evaluate why you are doing this in the first place. Get your priorities and your motivations together again and get back on that horse! You have come this too far to throw it away. We all have challenges and pitfalls but it takes more courage and strength to get back up, dust yourself off and keep going than it does to give up! Your story has encouraged and motivated me that I CAN QUIT SMOKING! Know that you inspired a stranger today! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou've been at it for months so far and congratulations for that! Keep up the good work. Persevere through the tough spots. I have huge goal as well, and found that the blogging is really great at keeping accountability just like you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteEvery step in your journey is worthwhile. And by sharing it with others you have no idea the positive impacts you have.
Keep inspiring people!
