Long Journey to who knows where?

 

I know I have a long way to go but I sure happy from where I came!

 

The best thing is to have someone say you look amazing, or you look way different. I've worked so hard for so long at trying to be the best me, the way I felt on the inside.

Now a size 12 :)

 

 

 I had issues with depression over it, that in itself made me just not care, and over eat what ever I got my hands on. Then I would start all over the next week and proclaim my willingness to give it another go. I just knew I was stuck in a vicious cycle of eating, gaining, deprivation, losing. This yo-yo's string was about to snap!

 

So I said, go to hell so called "DIETS"!!, and I'm learning to have a new relationship with whole foods. I try to keep my junk food eating down to a few times a week, but I don't say no to anything, ever!

                                        Provolone Chicken w/veggies yummy!

 

 

 If I want a taste I taste and then move on. The trick is not to over due it, plus who likes the belly ache that comes with it? This,for me, is working. After so many years of trial and error I think I hit gold :)

 

This brings me to my next goal:

Fit into a size 8!

 

 

 

Size 8!

 

 I went and bought a pair of size 8's. The ones I'm pictured in above was my last years goal pants size 12. In January of last year I was in a size 16-18. I know I can do it if I put my mind to it, I have come to far to turn back now.

Another step in becoming the person I was meant to be!

 

The past weeks my runs have been going ok, missed a few but I'm sure I will do fine in next weeks Birthday race. I have been having a lot of medical issues and with the scope coming next week I'm looking forward to knowing what is causing all these ailments and how to cure/help them. Knowledge is power and I intend to keep my power :)

 

Next week I also turn the big 42! Wow how time flies, but I have to say I feel better at 42 then at 22 when I was over weight and loss in the world of nothingness.

I will never let my self feel so low again, Never! I now know and have faced my demons and I have let go of all my hurts and just claim I"M WORTH  BEING HAPPY HEALTHY AND WISE! 

 

So go out and do it for you, I know it is hard but I'm here to help and support, utilize me! :)

 

My best to you and yours,

Stay Healthy, Happy, and Wise :)
