For the first time in more than ten years I am FINALLY under 300 lbs.!!!!!!! Yip that's right folks, as of Sat. Oct. 10, I weighed in at an amazing 297, thats a total loss of 45 lbs.
. I still have a loooong way to go but I have the will and determination to succed this time, I guess my head is finally in the right place. I don't want to make it seem like I haven't had some difficultys (like major plateus
) but I seem to be moving past that and the weight has been coming off steadly. I tried losing weight last year but didn't get too far. I was really battling with myself over food. You know how that works, with the little devil sitting on your shoulder telling you to go ahead and eat, you deserve it, don't you? Even though I never really was hungry(in my body).My brain would want to eat. It's hard to explain, but most of the time I felt like I couldn't feed my brain enough, though my body was physically stuffed, uncomfortable and at times on the verge of being sick, my head was still hungry!!!!
Well I started again May 27, 09. Like I said my head is now where it should be, no cravings, no battles with myself over eating. Why? I'm not sure, I have now given myself permission to love myself and you know what, that little devil was replaced by the voice of an angel telling my that I can lose weight and that I can do anything I set my mind to, because I AM WORTH IT!!!!.
Ok, I'll jump down off my soap box now
.
Wishing all of you great success in all you DARE to do!!!
For more than ten years!.................
