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!

I am following you and added you to my blogroll. So, now I have my eye on you. ;) :D
ReplyDeleteI know how frustrating it is to start, fall, get up and do it again and again. You have to find the trigger within you that flips and says, "No more!" And decide that whatever has been holding you back, keeping you down is no longer allowed to keep you fat and that you are breaking free of it. It isn't easy to do, but trust me, when you get to that point, you become an unstoppable force.
May I suggest that you read the blog A Deliberate Life? You can find it on my blogroll. Chris is amazing and has had wonderful success. She is a straight shooter but filled with compassion and is very no nonsense. And has insights that blew me out of my socks. And helped me to get as far as I have, so far.
Okay, I am out of here, this is your comments, not my personal playspace. If you need an ear, advise, help, whatever, please e-mail me. My e-mail addy is in my Contacts page at the top of my blog page. :D
Thank you so much for your encouragement and advice. It was just what I needed to hear today. Isn't that funny how things work out like that.I am going to add that blog you suggested. Thanks for keeping an eye on me too.
