It has been quite some time since I was on here...and I can tell you why. I've been sitting holed up in my house feeling sorry for myself. Caroline put it to me straight though... she said... "Mom, you need to stop blaming everyone else for your weight problem." At first I was like... NO I don't.... but after calming down...and rereading my posts... she is right! I've blamed everyone from my kids to my job...to Toby! Good GRIEF! Grow up Lucy and take responsibility for your own life!!!!
New set of goals and rules:
1. Put God first and make time every day to pray. He is the One who will guide me in the right direction.
2. Let my children grow up. Stop hovering. Let them live their lives as they should be doing and stop begrudging them the amazement in the world that is out there for them to explore. Let them spread their wings and really fly and have faith that I instilled in them some of the good that mom and dad instilled in me.
3. EAT breakfast and log every morning. WEIGH in daily so that not one single ounce can creep up on me.
4. NO EXCUSES to pig out. for instance... well the kids are back so I'll just eat. ummm NO! THEY do NOT have weight problems.... I DO!
5. Drink water and cut the soda back out of my life.
6. STOP sneaking eating and then pretending you haven't done it. CHEATER!
7. Get happy again.
8. It WILL come off once I do all of these things... oh yes, and journal every day the food I eat in my journal.
THERE. this can be done. I'm right back where I started which is sad. I'm fat, miserable, and no one to blame but me. Here we go again... (I'm soooo sick of that song) lol
I can do this with the Grace of God's guidance.
Lucy
I have been overweight for over half my life. The thin person inside of me is screaming to be let out but my obsession with food won't let it. This is my journey to become healthy again before it is too late.
