I have hit a stumbling block for the past year and I really need to get back on track. I will be happier, I know and I will definitely be healthier.
My goal is to update my weight loss journey at least weekly, if not daily and also to keep track of random thoughts, emotions and epiphanies during the course of my day/week.
I want to have accountability by those who follow my blog, and also maybe learn more about myself as I take on the challenges and discoveries.
This picture of me was taken in 11/06 and was probably me at my heaviest. I weighed in at 259 pounds. I started Weight Watchers July 2007 and lost 60 pounds in 9 months. I felt better, I looked diffferent and people who hadn't seen me in a while didn't recognize me at first.
In April 2008 I kind of got side tracked. My Mother-in-law died, my dog got sick and had to have major surgery and we had got hit with taxes for the first time. I lost focus and balance and began to fall back into old habits. That is when I realized that I was truly an emotional eater and that not all things had been put behind me like I thought.
Here it is June 2009 and I have been yo-yoing for months. I have good months, where I lose a pounds, and I have bad months where I gain several pounds. I use to exercise 4-6 days a week and as of today, I haven't exercised in at least a month and I currently weigh 211. I had gotten below the 200 mark and vowed NEVER to hit it again. But here I am 211 and fearful of gaining all and more of the weight back.
Thus the blogging. I have the best success when I put myself out here, no matter how uncomfortable I get. And I am full of hope and determination to get down to 160.
The new phase of my journey begins now.....
