Sitting here amongst the boxes…
And thought I would come out here and give a quick hello and an update…
First, LIFE:
A quick recap…I moved from Ohio to Florida in November…In January, my boyfriend was laid off after 15 years…And then last week, my position was eliminated. So I was laid off as well…The job I JUST got in January…Soooo…Needless to say, life has been a bit weird again…
But all and all, I am handling it well…
Brian and I have decided to move BACK to Ohio. He has already found a job there, and I am very heavily looking. The job situation seems slightly more stable up there, and the cost of living is definitely cheaper. I will also have my friends, family, and pets with me finally, and this is all a good thing…
So we are packing, and will be moving in two weeks…FUN TIMES. Nothing like moving twice, across the states, in less than five months!!!
Second, WEIGHT: Needless to say, weightloss has been far from my mind…
No. Strike that. It is NOT. Nor is it EVER far from my mind. Its just not being prioritized right now. Or maybe it is, and its been moved behind packing, moving, and job search.
Overall, I am still hopeful. Spoke with my sister today and as soon as I get back to Ohio I am joining a new gym, and going back to Weight Watchers. Now I just need to get through the next few weeks without gaining 20 pounds…
I still feel there is hope.
I still feel this could be my year.
I just know its going to take a TON of focus and determination. I know I will need to sacrafice several things for the short term while I get recommitted. And I must start IMMEDIATELY as to not waste any more time…
But I am still hopeful…
And as long as there is hope, there is light at the end of the tunnel…
Hope you are all well, and I will check back in soon, promise…
I miss all my buddies!!!
Wishing you the best of luck!
Glad you are staying postive through everything!
Looks like you have a great plan for when you get back to Ohio!
Big HUGS!
Good luck! Just remember thru it all to take care of yourself first!!
Sorry about the job losses but am happy you will be moving back to your family, friends and pets! Happy packing
Oh you poor babe…. I’ll bet your pets will be overjoyed to see you again. Every cloud does have a silver lining, you’ll see. All the best to you and Brian.
Oh wow…. you’re dealing with everything so well. Best of luck with the move. Focus on that and it might keep your focus off food. And all that packing and moving is a fantastic full-body work out!
u sound like u got it all figured out :>) sorry the jobs/moving to florida didnt work out as planned , maybe its for the best , they say things happen for a reason and im a true beliver in that , wishin u the best of luck back in Ohio :>)
(((hugs)))
Moving is awful. We moved from PA to SC in July and I told hubby next time we move we’re selling it all. LOL
Hi Girl! Hang in there, hope the move goes alright!
Oh boy!! Just read your whole blog! Hey I wasn’t really looking to loose alot of weight but found that every time I did it would just go back on over the next 6 months. I’ve pounded the treadmills for years and tried every diet in existence - still just goes back on! Then I found thefatlosssite.com and wow success and for my sis who was really overweight. Now we have both lost weight and it stays off - no diet no treadmills. Maybe you will find it worthwhile. Good luck, Ad.
Wow, its all happening at the same time. Hope your move goes well and I’ll pray that all that you wish for comes true this year. Losing weight is not easy. It can be done. I went from 240 lbs to 130 lbs in under 5 months. You must want to do it. I’m sure you do. Read my story and hopefully, it’ll show you that you can have whatever you wish for.
I am almost 30 years old. For ten years I struggled with body image issues. I learned, by studying the law of attraction, that my body image issues were caused by the way that I felt about myself. As I changed the way that I felt about myself and about the food that I was eating, my body stabilized. Now I am 125 pounds, I never diet and I don’t exercise either. I eat whatever I want and I am no longer afraid of food AND I no longer gain weight.
I’ve used the Law of Attraction to change many things in my life and now I have a business where I teach people to do the same through different stress reduction modalities. Please feel free to checkout my blog: mindbodybalancing.com. My business is located in New York but I also give remote sessions to people via my webcam. If you mention this blog, you will get half off your first session with me.
Best Regards,
Marisa
All the best Dawn. There is of course hope & you are one tough cookie.
