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.

Updated and Ready to Go
I finally updated my blog with all my new weights and goals and its time to make them a reality now. There has been alot of stuff going on in my life and its still going on and I have put myself on the backburner for to long. I have allowed stress to rule my life and as you can tell by my weight gain that meant more eating. This next year is so important to me. Next year at this time I graduate from college and when I do I want to be at goal or at least close to goal. My weight is standing in my way in so many ways. My self confidence is shot, my self esteem is nonexistant and well I'm suffereing from depression. My bulimia is still pretty much controlling my life but I'm battling it everyday. Its just time for me to pull myself out of this blackhole I'm in. Its lonely, depressing and sometimes I think totally insane to be this way. I know I want to lose weight, I know I need to lose weight and I know the bulimia is absolutely not helping me to do this so why do I continue to repeat the same steps that aren't working? Now you see why I think its total insanity. How can I want something more than I've ever wanted anything in my life and still not be able to accomplish it? Is it putting so much focus on every bite of food I eat that is making food so irresitable? I don't even like eating anymore, how can you enjoy something that brings you so much pain and unhappiness, you can't. I'm hoping that starting my blogging back and getting support from everyone on here will help me to find the strength that I'm lacking right now. I need this victory in my life, I need to take my power back and I need to be the best I know I can be. Please God give me the strength to conquer this demon.

I add my agreement to your prayer for victory! Hey, all you can do is address each issue as best you can daily. Plan meals. Shop wisely. Do prayer and affirmations first thing. Stop and consider before eating. Destress before eating a bit, even if it's just breathing deeply for a minute. Your brain may KNOw certain actions are useless, but habit is a strong, strong thing. You have to supplant old habits with new ones, which take time, effort and consistency, which is super tough. BUT IT IS DOABLE. YOU CAN DO THIS.
ReplyDeleteDepression, bulimia, self-esteem issues. All are not immovable or stronger than you. YOU cant take the reins and you can call the shots and you can grow and you can win.
I cheer you on!
Thanks so much Princess Dieter for your inspirational words.
ReplyDeleteHave you heard of the book "The Truth About Beauty" by Kat James? I just recently purchased it and have been floored by so much of what she writes. It's more than a loose weight or diet book, it's more than just how to look good, it's about healing yourself from the inside out. Check it out on amazon.
