Merry Christmas One and All....
This is supposed to be a happy time of year right? With decorations being put up and finding that perfect Christmas Tree! Yet I found myself depressed and overwhelmed at the idea of loosing weight!
Then something happened... I remembered that FOOD is ...F U E L ! Not just a way to medicate or push down other emotional issues. I've chosen to set food aside and take that issue "of complacency" by the horns and lay it to rest. I have had to remind myself that I make the decisions here and I dictate where my life is going. I have children that depend on me for pete's sake. I can't kill myself slowly!! I was headed down a path to sickness. I have chosen NOT to continue on this path.
So this is where my journey begins...
I went out after seeing my doctor (who told me to loose the weight) and purchased a journal. Then i sat myself down and figured out how I best loose weight. I don't do programs... pre packaged foods or diet pills. So this leaves me with holding myself accountable for what I put in my mouth. So this is where the journal came into play. I decided to start tracking what I was eating. So I looked at packages of the items I ate and wrote everything down. Kind of like calorie counting.
Then I decided to look on the net for a calorie checker page. And that is when I stumbled onto this site "Fit Clicker" and that is where the exciting stuff started taking place. I found SO many amazing helpful things on this site that I decided to sign up and created my profile.
Being vunerable is sometimes the hardest thing to do... But let me tell you it will be the best first step that you will take. HEY..I had to get real with myself and understand that I got myself into this mess, and I WILL get myself out one step at a time.
So once I created my profile I took measurements! Wow let me tell you... I was surprised by the numbers. However I am determined to drop the weight for me and ME alone! Secondly for my family and husband... I believe weight loss starts with a decision FIRST..... Second believe in yourself believe in myself... I can DO this!!
Thanks for reading this journal of my weight lose journey and keep looking for more entries...
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND IT IS A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!!
