Her words really capture what is approaching us in the next couple of weeks, a decision as to whether we are going to let unhealthy living return and have a seat at our tables (ha ha food can also be our lovers too). So many at this time think that since they went out of control for Thanksgiving that they might as well continue on the downward spiral..which I like to think is synonymous with Olu's line "pick myself up like a flat furry animal by the side of a highway a reinsert myself into rush hour traffic." Just last year, and the year before that, and then some, was how I did things. I ain't lyin! I felt so bad after Turkey day that I was like I might as well continue and I appeased my sadness and guilt for more cake (my love lol). But that was the old me:) Now I find that at any time, we can stop, make a decision, and do differently. You'd be amazed as to how much a little change will change the outcome of a situation. So I just wanted to encourage you that its not over. At any time, you can stop, decide to do something different, and get different results. So what say you..?
I'm in it to win it! I am down 50 pounds as of today & have 12 to go to reach my goal weight. Yay! I am going to have a great holiday season & eat some good food, but I no longer associate good food with all the rich, sugary foods that pushed me over 200 pounds! Yikes! I am so proud to say I now weigh 156 & hope to be at my goal of 144 early next year.

ReplyDeleteGreat post! For me it's been a struggle for all of my adult life...I think it's hard to imagine NOT having a "weight issue" so i go up and down never able to stay at the healthy weight... oh well. once again, i'm back on the goal of trying to get healhty
ReplyDeleteBig sis I can def relate:) I've felt the same way since high school...but lets team up to conquer this thing:)
ReplyDeleteI'm down 50+ since Arpil. I was 308 now 250's (I dont have accurate weight today, maybe around 254). I stay focused, I think about how sad, depressed, insecure I was being over weight, and I don't want to go back. I still splurge on some stuff, but my work ethic is too strong now! Plus I can buy EXPRESS for MEN jeans now! (size 42" wasit to 36ish now)
