Making A Comeback For Life!
Hello Everyone,
This is my first time EVER posting on ADBB, and my first time considering to communicate with others from all over the world through a forum. I can relate to so many here that have overcame or are still in their journey to overcome weight/health issues. I've realized that I cannot do this alone, so here I am.
I started my low carb venture back in 2004 and lost over 74 lbs. Was doing awesome, and was hooked on the lifestyle and was an exercisaholic... or so I thought. Winter 2004 to Spring of 2005 was a horrific time in my life where I almost lost my husband to complications of Lupus. Thank God he's alive today, well and mobile now! Whew... He's on a somewhat low carb diet except with very little animal protein and fats in his diet, mostly vegetables, whole foods/fruits, etc. During this time of the end of 04 to yesterday, I just basically 'let myself go'. I was going through the rollercoaster of stress, depression, low self-esteem, oh gosh the whole 9 yards.
Today though my heads more leveled and I made the decision that September 3rd, 2006 is a new day and I'm to make a better decision for myself. A life changing decision. A revolutionary decision... the heck with these deadly habits, and to buck up and stand firm and take better care of my health. How else am I going to survive and live to see my beautiful family? How else am I going to make it for another few more decades? I have to take the intiative, and renew my thinking. My husbands now alive, and better than ever! (For God's sake, he plays basketball 4 days a week, he's doing great!) My son's entering 1st grade and is the best in literacy and math in his class... and I... I've become selfish to think that I can go on eating and hurting myself the way I have, when I KNOW for a fact the answer is right there in my face. I know the answer but am LAZY to go through with it. Laziness is the dumbest excuse in the world, and enough is enough.
I'm back y'all... with a vengeance and am ready for the challenge to get back on the ball. If another crisis hits my way again, I'll NEVER again go under, but yet fight on my knees in prayer and speak up next time to my family and friends.
I hope to network with you all more on ADBB, for all of your stories and courageous efforts is such a breath of fresh air to me. I hope to become friends with some or all
of you here at ADBB, and please CONTINUE TO KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. I am on fire, and am a fighter to take better care of my health. I want to be a living example of what I talk, and to share with others my story to encourage and uplift them. It's infinite possibilties from here on and it's time to kick some fat to the curb.
2004 Picture (Where I want to be Again) 208 lbs.
August 2006, Current (Same blouse, except tighter) 280 lbs.
I will keep you all posted.
