Blog Identity

When I first decided to blog, I wanted to talk about the people I adored the most...my family! But, as time has progressed I have decided that I want my blog to be about all things me! Family, love, weight loss, new journey's and I have decided to take you all along on the paths with me.

Emotional Eating

Its so funny how you can ask God for things and he just gives it to you. I have been struggling with my weight since late 2010. My grandmother passed away that year and it was really hard on me, she had a bout with cancer and she got really sick. I ate to cope with her sickness. My grandmother helped my mom raise me, she put me in private schools and took care of me while my mom worked. She was always there to guide me, give me advice or just cook me some of my favorite meals. When she fell ill I was living in GA doing an internship that summer and when I found out I was devastated, welp I ate myself better and 20lbs later, I was sad at the way I looked, but then life continued to happen and I gained more and more weight. I thought while in high school I was not a big eater, I worked 2 jobs and wore a size 5/6 at my smallest. I know that's a different time, however, my goal is to lose this weight. I said all that to say, I have been struggling this past week with getting into the eating right habits and having my water and getting in activity time and while sitting in church yesterday listening to the announcements, one of our members(whose a doctor), start discussing emotional eating, what causes it and how to cope with. Well, you know what causes it...how to cope with it is another issue. It's basically asking God what is His will for your life and start addressing it. You can also, put together a vision board and I thought that's a great idea, lets start addressing these issues. Pray for me.

Update

It feels like winter out! What the heck, it seems like yesterday it was 83...oh my bad, it was! What the heck!? Anyway, back on my grind with work and goals that I have set for myself. My first goal is to lose 15lbs by Halloween and it's totally doable. I just need to stay focused and work on knocking it out the park. In order to reach this goal, I will:

Follow Weight Watchers Core Plan
Workout while at Work 4 days a week
Drink Lots of water

If I follow that plan, I believe I can reach my goal. And for reaching that goal I will get myself a really cute top from Faith21. I won't weigh myself until Monday, this week started today for me, back at work since Thursday last week.

Once I've reached this goal and I will reach it. I will post before and after pictures and set my second goal. My goal is to lose 50+ lbs. I will keep you posted! Keep me in your prayers and I will do the same for you.

Good One!

I stumbled upon this letter online and decided to share:
Dear Fat,
This is to inform you that your lease is coming to an end and that it is time for you to vacate the premises. We’ve had a long-term arrangement, you and I, even friendly at times, but all good things must come to an end, and it is now time for this working relationship to end.

You have brought neighborhood property values down, and have polluted the neighborhood for the last time! You are no longer wanted here and must leave.

Please pack up your bags and prepare to be evicted.
Sincerely Yours,
Management

I LOVE IT!

Summer's Gone!

I haven't been posting in a while because I was in a rut, with weight loss, progress and death, its been a tough couple weeks. Anywho, I'm back and I am so happy to say that Weight Watchers Core is working for me! I have lost 5 lbs. my first week! Yay Me! I'm so excited and I have little mini goals and keeping a food journal and I'm actually not hungry at all. This is working out well for me and I couldn't be happier. I am adding cardio to my new lifestyle this week. I will be sure to post on that and let you know how I'm doing. I can't believe the summer's almost gone. I have a few fun things lined up for me and the kiddies over the next few weeks, but then we have to get ready for Halloween and then the holidays. It's crazy, can't believe it.

Sister Friends

God gave me some really good girlfriends in my life. 2 of which have had tragedy it has not been a week and these women have both lost their mothers. I love these girls and I wish I could take the pain away. I just pray that God can help me to be the best comfort that I can in the trying time for my girls.
