There has been a great amount of things take place in life since October 31st, 2014 which was the last time I have posted. I will try and get caught up but not sure of ever detail.
From October 31, 2014 until November 17th, 2014 I put the dieting off to spend time with some friends that were preparing to move out of state, and to help them pack and move. Alot of emotions during this time caused me to get way off track, but I had to get my mind set back that I had a work to do and get back on track!
This is from my weight loss journey of what I wrote on these days:
Day 105-November 24, 2014 - Today I am down 62.1lbs not where I wanted to be at this time but had a little sit back. Things have been very stressful. This is Thanksgiving week, and I know it is going to be hard but I will make it! Got to stay on Track!
I needed to lose 60 lbs by the 11th of this month and 80 by 11th of December so got alot of catching up to do.
Day 109-November 28, 2014 - Sometimes life can be hard, difficult sometimes you just don't know which way to turn, I have come to that point in my life. I know God has a purpose and He has a plan for me, but for me just to be able to see that purpose and plan is hard. Through the situations in life you get overwhelmed, become depressed and let your emotions become your control which leads to overeating. Sometimes it can become uncontrollable. I am not down as many pounds as I wanted to be today, but I cant give up that cant become an option for me I have to win this battle! Reminder I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13.
Well, over the Thanksgiving, and Christmas Holidays a period of almost six weeks I had a little weight gain but nothing that I couldn't overcome! Why? Because I let stress, sadness, and life being completely overwhelming get the best of me. I decided that I needed help to get back on track so I started going to a group called TOPS (Taking off Pounds Sensibly) it is kind of like a support group but has helped me tremendously!
Day 155 - January 13th, 2015 I started weight loss group called TOPS! I was determined to loss and I set a goal to lose a 100lb by June!
Day 162 - January 20. 2015 - I only lost .6 this week, next week will be better.
Day 169 - January 27, 2015 - I lost 6.2 lbs this week I was so happy cause now I felt like I was getting back on the right track. One day at a time and I will make it.
Day 176 - February 3rd, 2015 - I lost 3.4lbs this week.
Day 183 - February 10, 2015 - I gained 2.2- I left this meeting very disappointed and discouraged. I got home and I had to regroup myself. I had to get my mind back on track so I went back to day one looked at how much i weighed and realized that February 11th would have been my 6mth weight in and my goal on August 11th, 2014 was to lose 100lbs by 6month weigh in. Well, I failed! I was disappointed but realized that you want meet ever goal. In six months I had lost 87lbs pounds in six months. I begin to realize this was not so bad due to the set backs that I had had and the busyness of life had kept me down alot. I will reach the 100lb goal soon enough.
Day 190 - February 17, 2015 - I lost 3.8 lbs. Yay Me!
I was talking to someone and told them I just couldnt see the difference in myself the way that probably should and she advised me to go back and look at my pictures and see the difference. So I complied some pictures went and took a picture of myself to compare and I was in awe because I could finally tell a difference. Yes, my clothes had become bigger, and I have come down a few sizes but I realized the big thing was I have never had confidence in myself that I could do this! I never been called skinny, or even beautiful and I realized that it doesnt take being fat, or skinny to make you beautiful it is the spirit that you carry around that make you become that real person that you are.
I have shared this before in my previous post but this long weight lost journey had been so much more than a weight loss for me it has been a spriitual gain for me as well and for that I am a new woman! I may not look much differnt to others, I may not even sound alot different to others, but I can tell ya my life has become different in so many ways!
I will continue to journal my weight loss and hopefully soon get to announce my 100lb loss not very far away!
Oh yea, I am sharing the picture that I complied as of yesterday February 18, 2015.
Colossians 3:23- And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Have a blessed Thursday!
