Time for a Change!

I know first hand that losing weight is not easy at all. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication plus support from your friends and or family. Starting July 1st, I am finally going to change the way that I live my life. The first change that I will make will be my eating habits. Considering I don't want to become to overwhelmed at first I will start out by eating more green and drinking more water. The sad part is I love soda so much to where it would be real hard to give it up, but I know that this is the evil that keeps me from being a size 8. Lately I have been feeling so fatigue and my body just feels so sluggish. To be honest I hate it and I know in order to not feel this way I will need to lose weight.

I cried myself to sleep last night as I could hardly breathe. I needed the fan to be directly in my face in order to become comfortable while trying to go to sleep. It has become to the point to where I hate taking pictures of myself as I feel unattractive. The last picture I took was over 10 years ago and that is a crying shame. Well like I said I'm so tired of feeling this way and the only person standing in my way is me. So I'm ready and I will do it naturally with no diet pills. I don't know how I will do it, but I do know I will not do what I'm currently doing which is absolutely nothing.

This I know will be the hardest thing I have ever done. But I'm doing for me and the person who is in there ready to come back out and be who she use to be. I'm tired of everyone looking at me as if I'm from planet large. I'm tired of going out to eat dinner with my family and people looking like are you really going to eat all of that. I'm tired of people whispering as I walk by. I'm tired of old friends saying wow girl you have gotten so big. I'm tired of my belly jiggling for no apparent reason. I'm tired or having to wear shape wear to hide the rolls. I'm just tired of not being able to run or walk due to getting tired. I'm just tired of it all.

I have to lose at least 100 pounds to be my ideal weight of 140, but I will do it as I love my kids and want to see them off to college. This will be hard but I wont give up. I know some of you are thinking why am I waiting until next month well the reason is that's when we will get money and will be able to get the required foods needed. I will update everyone on my progress. If any of you are on the same boat and need someone to talk to please email me. I'm here for you guys whenever you need me. Considering I'm doing this all by myself I don't mind if you would want to buddy up and do this with me.

Also those of you who have lost weight please share your stories as it will benefit others.

Sorry for the long post but I really needed to vent, I know my typing is horrible but it's very late so please forgive me lol.

  2. Hi! I read your blog posts at times via Google Reader and read this post just now and wanted to comment that you are not alone in these struggles though it may sometimes feel like that! I am tall but of naturally small stature and gained over 50 pounds in the last 5 years from just not eating healthily! I was...believe it or not...a health food addict for years and had much more energy than I do now so I know firsthand that weight does make you tired! I started a vegan diet just over 2 months ago and I eat what I want for the most part but it just has to be vegan. I have lost 10 pounds so far and already am feeling a bit better! I know this isn't the avenue for everyone to go but just thought I would share my recent personal experiences with you! :) Good luck in your upcoming endeavors!

  3. @Barbara Thanks so much for your words of encouragement, it means a lot. For years I have said I'm going to to it but never attempted to. But now I have come to the realization that it's time to make the change as I need to do it for myself. I realized it's my health and the one who would hurt in the end is me. I will post updates every week or so as I'm very passionate about making a change.

    All the Best,
    Ty

  4. @Christina first I would like to congratulate you on losing 10 pounds in 2 months what an amazing accomplishment. I have thought about going vegan but I don't know the right types of food to get started. I'm not an huge fan of meat and to be honest I can live without it. Before my kids I was able to eat whatever I wanted but after giving birth my weight just started to climb up in the numbers. Of course I don't use this as an excuse as my youngest is now 8, so I know that it's all me. But finally I'm about to do whats right for me and stop making excuses for being overweight. I will update every week or so of my progress as I know if I can do it anyone can.

    All the Best,
    Ty
