There are times in our lives that we have to weather storms of our own making and this week is the beginning of that period of time in my life.
As I have talked about in a previous post, I am tired of being overweight and have started a new weight loss program like nothing else that I've ever done.
I am excited to say that I have lost 3.2 lbs. in 2 days but it hasn't been easy. I think, it has been the mental battle that has been the hardest.
Working from home and not getting out much during the day keeps me here around the foods that I love. I know that I could throw them all out but I have a husband and a son who are not on this progam with me and they have to eat. Beside, my teenage son is a bottomless pit at 15 and having 4 hour football practices a day.
This is a storm of my own making...I chose to eat unhealthy and I watched the scales climb a little at a time.
Did I stop it when I first noticed it? No.
Did I stop it when I had only 10-15 lbs. to lose? No.
So...it is no one's fault but my own and I am the only one who can change it.
Right now, it seems like a very lonely time in my life and very emotional. One that I have to go alone and I have to do this for me and no one else. I'm sure that being off my hormone replacement therapy isn't helping either.
I didn't heed the warnings, I didn't respect the scales and I chose to take the path that led to where I am today.
I have started another blog that is not publicly open at this time. It is my personal online journal of this journey that I am on. I have included many of my readers that have asked about my weight loss program, but if you are interested in following me on this journey...please, send me a personal email and I will send you a personal invitation to view my other blog.
My new blog is called My Journey To A "New" Me.
Have a wonderfully blessed day!

Oh honey, I know the struggle. And I am more than certain that the hormones are not helping things. I pray God will bring balance to your system and your emotions will be covered by His sweet love.

ReplyDeleteI'm praying sweet one! When you put your head on your pillow at night remember to thank the Lord for the courage to take up the battle now...for it must be now that He has called you to it and will see you through it. He is faithful!

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. Praying that you will find the strength to be a new healthy you. I need those same prayers:) Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWow, I could have written this blog - and just omitted the football part. I am having the same struggle with my weight, with being home all of the time, husband and near-15 yr old son, the loneliness...
ReplyDeleteI was just reading a friend's final entry on her Challenge Diet blog. I really liked her way of losing weight and it helped for me until I would be feeling sick and missed a day...She lost 28 lbs. in 4 mos. If you want to read her entries, let me know. She'd love to be an encouragement.
I so identify with you.
ReplyDeleteWe lost our son, Joshua, 6 years ago and since then I have used my body as a dumping ground. I have medicated myself with food and it is taking it's toll now. Hypertension, pre-diabetic. A weight gain of 45 pounds is nothing to take lightly.
I'll email you..
