Day 362 - I'm joining DietBet!!

Now that I have "me" figured out, it's time to get back on track with this weight-loss, healthy thing, right?!!

I came across The Biggest Loser's sisters Olivia and Hannah's MyFitspiration TWO! I saw the first one when it came out, but wasn't in a good place and didn't sign up.

This time, WATCH OUT!! I'm going to blow 4% out of the water!!!

If this isn't motivation... NOTHING IS!!!!

READY

SET 

GO!!

Day 350 - (How long it took to figure this out!)

I felt so bummed out recently about having stopped the weight loss part of my journey. Probably while I was munching on Easter candy... But reading back to my early entries, it's just so shallow and meaningless. I was in a dwindling relationship and thought that losing the weight would rekindle things. Cringe. 

What I really know now is how toxic it was!! And how brain-washed it made me! There is nothing I've experienced in my life that I can compare to betrayal. It was devastating. It was miserable... It was the best thing that could have happened to me.

I stood on a cliff on a peaceful Sunday afternoon, wondering what to do with my life. I heard, "Take your kids to church." And I did. I immediately felt as if my Father in Heaven and the congregation were waiting for me. Who knew?!... It was the best thing that could have happened to me. 

I spent years sugar-coating the ongoing dysfunction of my family. So I quit. I found that I had a whole neighborhood of "family" around me... It was the best thing that could have happened to me.

For years, I savored my "Mommy Time Out" with a glass, or two, or three of wine... sometimes more. And with or without the kids at home. Neither healthy nor responsible. So I quit... It was the best thing that could have happened to me.

I had help.

Thank you Cara, for your time, encouragement, well-timed reminders and your Sparkle! I'm looking forward to number two!! :)

Bishop. Thank you for genuinely caring about the well-being of me and my children. 

Thank you is not the right word for you, Kerry. Not even close. I could not have done this without you. You are the cheese to my macaroni. I lub ewe.

It is physically impossible to lose 100 pounds in the next 15 days, but that doesn't matter. Because it only took me 350 to finally figure this thing out!

I WILL reach my goal weight by December 7, 2013.... Not to FIND the New Me... AS the New Me.
