Time to finish what I started!
Well, I come across this blog every time I google something related to my ongoing weight-loss journey, so I decided to give it a whirl and see if it will help me finally get to my goal weight. I started at 274 pounds. Over the past two years I have done a fantastic job of losing well over 90 pounds. Yet, somehow as I type this today, I am at 202 lbs! The last year has been really hard, taking care of my terminally ill father who passed away on October 4th of this year. Yes, two weeks ago. I was down to 178 over the summer, and now am trying to get back in control of my weight. I had come to a point of acceptance with myself last year, and that helped me take off in the right direction of taking care of myself. Now, I need to get back in that frame of mind again, since I have been so consumed these last few months with watching my father die. I know he would want me to finish this, so I am here for support, motivation, tips, hugs, whatever it takes to get me back into the size 6 dress I wore only a few months ago! And to top it all off, I registered for an 8K back in the spring that is now only a month away! Yikes! I hope to finish what I started, run the race in the meantime, and learn from others. Let's face it, grief and weight loss are not exactly roommates. So, I hope to gain (and lose) a lot by coming here.
