I had an experience that "finally" made me open my eyes and come to the realization that I have to lose this weight and........ NOW
My son (12 yrs.) and I left my DS at his office and we drove over to our rental house to do some work. My DH was to follow us over in a few.
We got to the house, I parked on the lawn because there was a big dumpster in the driveway. I was starting to unload my car of all the necessary cleaning supplies and what have you and then I went to the back seat door and was starting to get stuff out when my foot dropped down into a hole and wouldn't you know it, I fell backwards right onto a bush!
Ya it sounds comical, but I was absolutely MORTIFIED AND HUMILIATED. And, I couldn't get up. To think at age 52 I can't take care of myself because I'm too fat. Oh My Gosh. Hello???
Between my weight/obesity and my arthritic/bone spurred right knee, I couldn't get onto the knee to get myself up. And, believe you me, I thought and thought about what my son could bring from the house to help me, but to no avail.
So, there I lay.
Then it started to rain. Ya' ya, the story gets more amusing as it goes on!!!
I got the cell phone, called my DH and said, "Could you hurry over. I have fallen and I can't get up."
He thought that I was joking.
That was just a couple of days ago, and I have lost 12 pounds so far.
As God as my witness, I WILL GET THIS WEIGHT OFF........NOW!
Oh bless your heart. I imagine that wasn't just embarrassing, but scary!! Seems like it was a good catalyst, though, to get things moving in the right direction.
Best wishes to you--I'm looking forward to seeing your progress!!
How scary for you and your son! Sometimes we have to experience these types of consequences to really open our eyes to reality. I know I did. Best of luck on your journey and stick around. 12 lbs! Go you!
Were my eyes ever opened!
Thanks.
