Time to get it into gear..

How many times do we start out with great intentions, then fail.. horribly?? For me..this happens all the time. I almost hate to tell anyone that I am trying to lose weight because.. i know.. i am just going to fail. Why is it that I can't stay on the right path?? I am good for a week, sometimes a month.. a few times, six months. .. but gradually I quit, go back to bad habits and no exercise.
*** WHY can't I be at a healthy weight?? WHY can't I be happy with myself?? Thinking of putting on shorts.. well, it's not a pretty sight. Here I am.. I live in FLORIDA.. and my "shorts" are Capris. I just want to go into a store, and wear whatever I want... I'm sick of fat people clothes.. they are like drapes... to cover the massive bulges hanging out everywhere. I just want to be happy. I'm a productive person, I work a 40 hour work week, I manage a household with four boys and an awesome husband, I TRY and do my church calling to the best of my ability, it's not like I sit on my big ol' butt all day and cram food in my face. I've got to find a happy medium. Stop thinking I've got to be "treated" everytime I go to the gym, or NOT eat a sugary snack. I'm not a teenager anymore.. I've got to grow up. .. I hope "blogging" this won't be in vain.. but rather a springboard to my success. I can look back on this as a new beginning..::shudder:: my luck, it will end up deleted... here I go again.. This time, I want to win! Can I do it?????????

  1. Hey Pretty lady, For what it is worth I think you are very beautiful inside and out. Good for you for being so honest with how you feel, but just so you know you are by far your hardset critic and I know a Man named Tim and four boys who love you dearly no matter what. Hang in there I know you will accomplish your goal!! Miss you guys.
    Lots of Love from Idaho :)

  2. Yes, you can do it!

    Have you thought about doing a cleanse of some kind? It might get some junk out of the way that's clogging up the pathways that clean out all the extra stuff you don't want. and it might give you a jump start losing some weight in the first week.

    Have I ever told you about Dr Fuhrman? You have to get his book... Eat to Live... or Eat For Health is even better. It's a 2 book set that re-tells what's in Eat to Live and has wonderful recipes.

    I really need to practice what I preach and lose some weight too!

    Call me... we'll talk!

    love you
    Daphne
