Recent Events

This past week has been pretty crazy.  With the craziness going on in the world, from the Boston Marathon bombing to the earthquake in Iran to the recent Texas Fertilizer Plant explosion it just seems selfish to write a blog post about my personal weight issues.  My thoughts & prayers go out to all affected by these horrible tragedies.  Seeing all of this makes my personal issues so tiny in comparison.  So, this week out of respect, I will not talk about myself or weight journey.

What I want to talk about is how amazing people really are.  In the wake of all of these tragedies there were some wonderful people who didn't hesitate to help others who were injured.  It is also amazing to me how quickly we come together in times of tragedy.  Sometimes it is easy to forget with all of the hatred, ignorance & arrogance out there how awesome some people are capable of being.  Because of this, I hold high hopes for our future.

Although, I do have to say it is unfortunate that it takes horrible events like these to bring us together.  We seem to forget about each other unless something terrible happens.  I do feel the human race has a very long way to go but we are definitely on the right path to a wonderful place.

To anyone reading this right now, I wish you so much love and happiness.  I sincerely hope that you have a long, safe and blessed life.

Next week I will post about my weight journey so I hope you will join me then.

MUCH LOVE

Changing My Life

My entire life I have struggled with weight.  When I do go on a diet & exercise routine, I end up quitting because I feel like I'm just not strong enough.  I have discovered that I am addicted to food.  I know some of you reading this might think that isn't possible but let me tell you, IT IS.  A few years ago I started logging what, when, & even why I ate.  I found that there were multiple times I wasn't even hungry yet I didn't hesitate to go into the kitchen & eat.  I gave up because it became too hard.  I have had to realize that life is hard, nothing is easy, & my life is worth fighting for.  I may not be happy right now because of my health, weight & job but I can no longer complain, whine, or mope around about it because I am the ONLY one who can change it.  I have weighed myself & I am at 320lbs.  That is the most I have weighed in my life.  I am 31 years old & I need to gain control of my life & take responsibility for it.  No one is to blame but myself.  I am declaring war on my laziness, my food addiction, & my bad attitude.  I am going to take control & I am going to WIN!!  Please join me on this journey.
