This is going to be the easiest yet also the hardest thing I have ever written.
Anyone who has known me for any length of time knows I am no size 0 nor have I ever been one. I have plenty of issues with my weight like many others. I have tried it all, well mostly all. I would always succeed in some way, but never enough to motivate me to continue. I did have a small turning point in my life when Sydney was about 16 months old. I reached my heaviest I had ever been... 270. I am not afraid to share that number because that is exactly what it is... A Number. That Number can be changed. I knew I needed something different to help me change that number. So, I joined NutriSystem. I know many would not agree with systems like this, but for me it was the kick start I needed. Yes, it made me eat less, but it also showed me how to eat better. I learned how to translate the pre-packaged food into real food. I believe I was very successful with this... I lost 60 pounds. I was 210 and was able to shop at Old Navy. I was able to maintain this weight for some time. Then just over a year ago I started letting life take over. Because of a few difficult things, I let stress and many other things take over. I came up with every excuse not to eat right or exercise. I allowed my life to rule me not me rule my life. With this, I allowed myself to gain back 25 pounds.
Three weeks ago I decided to take a leave of absence from my job at Target. This decision was mostly for my family, but also my sanity. My plan was to take full advantge of this time. Besides taking care of my family, my number one priority was going to get myself healthy again. I knew eating better and exercise was the way to do it, but I knew I also needed a kick. I found an all natural supplement to take called Healthy Trim. The one major draw back has been the NO caffeine, but thankfully I feel that has passed. I have been taking them a week and I have already noticed that I am eating less. Eating TOO MUCH, has always been a major issue. I have also done a few other things that I feel will help keep me motivated. My main thing is I want to hold myself accountable. The main reason why I am writing and posting this. I plan on using this as way to keep me focused. I think I will use a blog to help with the writing, but still use the public forum of Facebook to help.
Thanks for listening to me and thank you for all and any support you may have.
