I called my blog Left Behind because that is what I intend to do. I am leaving behind anything and anyone who is not helpful in my journey.
I belong to several other sites and while I have freinds on those sites I don't feel as though they are supportive of me. In fact I feel like they are more like huge groups of whiner-babies...That is what most of them do...Whine!
We all have a hard time losing weight, We all struggle with the don't want/need to debates of working out. The binges, the falling off the wagons....blahblah. I have done my complaining and excuse making in the past and I am frustrated with myself for not being farthur along in my journey. HOWEVER, I have never said I can't / don't lose weight because......Fill in the blank. I hear way too many people on these other sites saying they can't lose or won't lose and then the next sentance is about the huge chinese dinner buffet they went out to! Don't get me wrong I love my chinese food, and I am half blind and I can still see why you gained weight last week!!!!
So here I am starting a new blog on a new site so I can surround myself with the positive thoughts I need to focus on me. Because truley that is why we are all here. TO FOCUS ON OURSELVES!!! Not anyone else.
I have 56 pounds to lose for no other reason than for once I am going to feel sexy in my life time! For my husband of 15 years, and for my 5 kids.
Here is how I know I will succeed!
1. I KNOW I am an emotional eater. I do not eat when sad only when stressed in fact I don't eat at all when I am sad.....Problem is I'm Never sad!!!! I have a great husband and great kids...but we struggle with money as most 6 person families do and so when bills get tight or schedules are super full I eat, I eat alot, and I eat alot of crap!!!
2. I KNOW the reasons I am heavy and how to fix them I struggle with applying those fixes to my life.
3. I KNOW the names of the people in my family who sabatoge me and I refuse to let those efforts effect me anymore. Yet another reason for the new start. This will be an effort of mine and mine alone. Privacy is important when you have close relatives who try to make you feel like you don't deserve the things you want. Even if they don't realise what they are doing it is still damaging me and my efforts.
4. I KNOW I have all the equipment that I need to run again, the gym membership so I can run the indoor track whenever and the treadmill at home so I have no excuse not to run....Not to mention the trails near me house too for those really awesome cool days outside!
and 5. I KNOW if I don't do something soon that I will end up like everyone else in my family. UNHAPPY. Fat, Lazy or even worse sick with something like diabietis.
So for those out there on the same road I am that are tired of all the negativity....
Here's to us making the best out of the rest of this year and the years to come!
