OMGGGGG You girls are all still here!!!! I get happy when I see you all asking about me now and then. I need to get back on board......OMG my weight is OUT. OF. CONTROL. All the things I thought were going to enable my weight loss are HINDERANCES.
I'm Michelle, 35 year old Mom to Robert age 11 (soon to be TWELVE! OMG) and Rachel age 7. Married to Michael for what will be 14 years come December. I am a nurse in hemodialysis and commute one hour each way to work these insane 12-14 hr days. I am whooped. Been doing a TON of overtime but hopefully that is slowing down. I have to learn to say NO once in awhile. I know I am NOT taking care of myself. I thought I was going to CRY when I tried on my jeans the other day, ugh. I am a recovering alcoholic/addict (2 1/2 years clean and sober! WOOT!) But I am aware that I haven't conquered my food addiction yet. And I can rationalize and justify the **** out of it.
I have a pretty sunny outlook on my life. Have tons of gratitude and am for the most part a pretty happy person. I will set my Thanksgiving day goal for 14 pounds, but I am not going to reveal my numbers yet. I am at an all time high however.
My asthma/breathing is bad, and not wearing my pretty clothes is a bummer. Need to get myself in a better state of mind, body and spirit. Need to go back to my AA meetings and get my mind right. But again, taking less on at work, less overtime, so hopefully more ME time.
I hate that I get all excited and motivated, post on here, then disappear when the motivation wanes. I do need to be here though!!!! Glad to see you all....will hit up my WEED and catch up with you all tomorrow.
xoMichelle
