Tired of Just Not Doing Anything About Myself!

I need to be MY OWN keeper! It has probably been a whole year since I last blogged. I was so gung-ho about blogging, and documenting my journey, and then one day I just fell off the wagon. This has been a full year of trying to climb back onto the wagon and getting knocked off again, and each time, it being harder and harder to pull my weight back up onto that wagon. I am just sooooo tired of just not doing anything about myself. To help myself. But really, am I really tired? I have been saying that all year long, and still... Why don't I just do something???

Recently, I have been reading so many very informative and inspiring weight loss blogs! It helps so much to read about other people's success, and tips on overcoming struggles. I have always wanted to be a jogger, but being over 400 lbs really makes it hard for me to see how being a jogger can come to fruition. Reading so many inspiring blogs about "it just takes one step at a time", (something I have heard and thought I understood)and seeing these people be living examples of what "one" step can lead to, makes it feel like an attainable goal. I feel like I am ready to start again! I just need a plan.

Money has been an issue for me these past 8 months, and that stress has made it hard for me to focus on my eating and exercise. I am just believing and having faith in God to meet my every need. I want to be a living testimony of his goodness, and faithfulness, and I know he will provide. I have to find something that works for me. I have tried Atkins, Weight Watchers, calorie counting, and they all worked for me at some point, but I need something that I can do for the rest of my life. Weight Watchers seems to be the plan I keep going back to. I will give it another go. From home on my own, until I get the finances to register and attend meetings. Pray for me everyone!! Here I go!
