I hate to be here... not with y'all, because I've been reading, and well... it sounds great in here! Just HERE ... this isn't my second time, or third.... I have been around since 2000 off and on...
But I'm back now! Heavier than I have ever been, in deeper to the sugar monster's control than I have ever been, but if anything is going to help, this is it! It is what works for me, I just don't always work for it, if that makes sense.
Just thought I would make myself known. I am a single mom, homeschooler, and work in a Women's prision. My office is right next to, literally a foot away, from the facilities "snack area", so chocolate, popcorn or gummy worms are no more than 7 average sized steps away from my desk at any given time. So there is not a single area of life that is not saturated with stress...oh, and I am trying to buy my first house, ever. May as well dump financial stress in the mix also. So instead of reaching for the peeps, (I hate the Easter candy season almost as much as I love it), I'd best have some walnuts instead, and hop back on the wagon.
On the bright side, I live in small town America, my kids are great, this is the life I always wanted, and I know I can do this.
I got hit with reality when I realized that I am about to launch a huge weight loss program, nutrition, exercise accountability (modelled after the 6WEC by the by), blood pressure, water, weights and measurements, stress management and life skills/ choices activites, and I am actually heavier than all of the inmates I am going to be coaching to get into shape. That was huge, and the one thing you don't want to be with that crowd is a joke. So I'd best get myself going too. I also read "The Town that Lost a Ton" which is a great book except for the low fat high carb nutrition components... but the community and the support is what I really lack. So, I am here, and hoping for that.
They say you have to be realistic about your goals. I do want to be healthy, and even more I want to look great, but really, I want to weigh less than this one lady who makes me crazy with her supercilious attitude, and if there ever is an eligible, decent guy who moves to this town (it is a really small town in the middle of nowhere), if at that point I want him, I want to have a shot. And I want to be comfortable in jeans, not always feeling like the waistband is going to cut me in half, even in sizes that do fit.
So, I know where I am, I know where I want to be, and why, and I know how I need to get there. Now to just do it.
Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
