Today, I had my first visit for my nutrition requirement part of my journey. I have to say I'm excited! I am even more so motivated because 2 weeks ago I had went to my consultation and was saddened even more that I had gained all the weight back I had lost last year (30 lbs). Today I weighed in 7 pounds less! Woohoo! That was just from me cutting out sugars and sodas! Today I began cutting down my portions and will follow the goals I have set for myself. I have accepted it is more of a mental challenge than anything. I am a stress eater always have been since joining the company I am with. I have gained 100 lbs in 12 years that I have been with them. I weigh more now than what I weighed when I gave birth to both my children.
One of the questions I had to answer on my questionnaire was - "What did you weigh when you were 18" 118 lbs! WOW! I'm 46 now....Although that is unrealistic and unhealthy for me now - I know I can reach my goal of 155 lbs! I got this.
I love reading the post and hearing the do's and don'ts. It's hard to accept that I am and have been overweight for so long. This is my year. I own it and I'm gonna do it!
