From as far back as I can remember I have been overweight and have attempted one diet after another to try to become that skinny girl I always dreamed of being. I'm starting this blog in hopes of using this as my motivational tool to finally change my lifestyle and get healthy. Feel free to cheer me on, give me advice or criticize me if need be. I'm way tougher on myself than anyone else can be on me.

I'll Start Tomorrow
How many times have I said those very words to myself, "I'll Start Tomorrow"? Here it is almost 3 months later and tomorrow has never came. Where's my motivation, where's my determination, where's my desire to lose weight? I wish I knew because apparently losing weight isn't that important to me, if it was wouldn't I be doing everything I could to lose? I'm fed up with myself, I'm fed up with the eating, I'm fed up with the binging and purging and the feeling guilty that comes along with that and I'm fed up with lieing to myself each and everyday. I've made commitments to myself and to all of you and I've failed each and every time. Why do I put myself through this? Just stop overeating, get my lazy ass outside and walk and quit making excuses for not doing what I promise myself. I'm sick of being fat, sick of being tired, sick of being lazy and sick of whining about things that I can change if I just stick to what works. I need to face it tomorrow will never come, thats just a fairytale I tell myself to be able to eat badly for just one more day. All I really have is right now, I need to stop worrying about what I will eat or do tomorrow and start worrying about what I'm eating and doing right now. Life is to short and I've already wasted 37 years do I really want to waste another 37? Right now is the time to get my life together and make the most of what I have. I graduate in a year and when I walk across that stage its not just about getting my diploma its about becoming a new person. I want that to include my outward person just as much as my inward person. Like the saying goes "Just Do It".

This is not hopeless. You have done all that is humanly possible for you to do. Now it's time to turn to God. You need a strength greater than your own. Please visit my site and listen to the hymn in the "This Too Shall Pass" post. Seek out a Church and get some counseling from the minister there. I will help all I can. Just let me know.
ReplyDeleteIt means so much to me that both of you have taken your time to respond to my post. I'm trying to use today to get back on track, one meal at a time. Thanks so much for caring enough to give me your perspective on what I'm going through. I know I can do this I just have to do it.
ReplyDeleteChristina - I prayed for you last night and you are on my mind this morning. Every time you feel weak, pray until it passes. Use all your resources to beat this.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to get back on the horse, I'm trying to get back on it and it seems higher than before, but I'm not giving up, but I am going to be honest. Ignoring it won't make it go away or correct itself. But I'm not going to beat myself up, I'm going to fight the fight not me. and I hope you do the same and stop beating yourself up.
ReplyDeleteHonestly when I wrote this post I didn't think I was beating myself up, I just thought I was giving myself the kick in the ass I needed but I guess when others read it thats how it comes off. I'm definitely not giving up and everyday I'm still focused on doing my best but I'm still not where I want to be. I just have to keep trying.
ReplyDeleteReading your post...it could have been me that wrote it!!LOL I feel the same way....:(
ReplyDeletePlease consider therapy. Bulimia is a dangerous game. Berating yourself so cruelly is not the answer.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this helps, but winloseorblog.blogspot.com is taking apps for Season 4!!! It helped me get started when I didn't want to, and it's only 7 weeks long! Just a thought... I am one who NEEDS a kick to help motivate. :(
