All about me…
Well…Lets see. I started my journey in January of 2004. I had lost my father quite unexpectedly 6 months before and I just knew I had to do something with my life…
My grief and unanswered questions were killing me…Ineeded a focus…I needed a goal, and weight loss seemed to be it…
Both of my parents have weight issues and both of them are/were diabetic. I didnt want to end up like either of them.
I started with weight watchers at work. I loved the program and was very successful on it. I did three 12 weeks sessions and dropped 32 pounds…Then I lost focus…
I then switced gears a bit, for I had found that boredom was a huge detractor for me…So I switched to counting calories…Still kept my food journal that I learned from WW, and continued to exercise…I also found a weight loss buddy…And after an 18 pound regain in the winter of 2005, I got myself back on track in 06…Dropped the 18 pounds and added over 30 more…
So for early 07, I got down to 179…Then life took a strange twist for me…My marriage of 13 years took a beating, I switched jobs, lost a best friend, my sister came home after 7 years over seas, and, well, I got sidetracked and derailed.
I regained 15 pounds this summer!!! Man…I hate seeing that in print. It angers me, for I worked sooooo hard…
But here I am again…It is Fall of 07…I will relose the 15 pounds and finally make my goal this time around…
I know what to do and how to do it, I just need to find the strength and the courage to keep doing it…
