Hello All!
Well, here I am once again. I am 31 years and I am tired, fed up, and I want to break this bondage. I want to release the REAL me that is inside and patiently waiting. I have decided NO MORE EXCUSES and that no matter how difficult the war is, I am sticking with it. Good thing I am a soldier! I am currently on extended induction (15 days in) and have made the decision to stay there for a while longer. I have A LOT of weight to lose. At this point, I FEEL GOOD! I am no longer obsessing over food, I have energy, I think clearly, I have hope, I am optimistic, and I can feel my body repairing itself slowly but surely. I do have a few physical problems, ie. damaged nerve in my right leg due to Sciatica, BUT, I can feel it getting better each day. I'm hoping that losing the weight will eliminate my problems and I thank God that things aren't worse.
I have apologized to MYSELF for allowing myself to get this out of control again. I originally started Atkins back in 2002 and fell off the wagon, then came back to it in December of 2004. That time I lost 100 pounds and I felt super! I had my first child and surprisingly gained no weight during pregnancy! It was AFTERWARD while being at home with a very demanding newborn and breastfeeding. My weight began to go up again and I simply let myself go. One year later, I got pregnant again and things really went downhill from there. I looked up and I had ballooned back up. I blame my weight not on my circumstances, but on myself. I take FULL responsibility for my poor choices. I am going through a divorce and have 2 very small children. Life is hectic right now, BUT, I have made the decision to make ME a priority and take this opportunity to get healthy. I am excited about this journey and it feels good to know that each day I am closer and closer to my goals.
You guys will be seeing/hearing from me a lot. I hope to bring encouragement, meet new friends embarking on this same journey, and most of all, I hope to permanently change my lifestyle.
I look forward to interacting with each of you!
