Biggest Challenge...

So my biggest challenge I knew I really would have to work on with my weight loss would be my eating late at night...  My eating at night could range from several different foods from a bowl of cereal, cookies, ice cream and even a meal....
A lot of this eating at night would be around midnight, so I would have myself a snack and then straight to bed...  This is a horrible habit I have had way to long and I know has been one thing that has caused me to gain so much weight...
So when I decided to start my weight loss journey I knew that was one issue I would have to address and overcome if I wanted to have success in losing the weight...
One rule I have made myself is that all my eating stops at 10pm don't get me wrong it hasn't been easy there have been several times I have been up late gotten bored and really wanted to go into the kitchen to eat...  But one thing I really never did before was to stop and think before I went into the kitchen... 
Now I think to myself am I really hunger or am I just bored??? 

Of course the answer is I am really not hunger just bored so when I have stopped to think about it I can really keep myself out of the kitchen...
I feel so much better when I go to bed now not having that huge dark cloud hanging over my head saying "why did you eat that again"....

I believe Satan finds things in our life that make us stumble and then he works on wearing us down with that part of our life...  Well of course when we give into that part of our life we feel horrible ....

So I know even if I do stumble and fall then God will pick me back up to put me back on the path he has before me.

Love this song....

Thank you God for giving me the strength I need to face this challenge...

First Weight Watchers Meeting...

January 8, 2012

Yes, I do have to admit the morning I was going to join Weight Watchers I was so very nervous: Thoughts running through my head:
1) Will I be the biggest person there
2) Do I really want people to know how much I weigh
3) Can I stick to it...

I pulled into the parking lot, paused a moment prayed for my nerves to be calmed....
As I walked into the meeting I was so very calm and ready to get started...  From the first moment I got there I felt so very welcomed and it was awesome...
I filled out my registration form and got ready to step on that scale for the first time for a stranger...  The number that came up was the most I have ever weighted and I never never want to see that number again....   I WON'T SEE THAT NUMBER AGAIN.....
I stepped off the scale and took my place on the second row waiting on the meeting to start...  A few minutes later our meeting started and I got to meet our leader for the first time Julie...  She was so very nice and made me feel so very welcome...  I knew I had choose the right meeting to be in and was pumped up....

Before I left I picked up some WW snacks and supplies then headed home to get started.....

Why.....

I have decieded to blog on my weight loss journey that started on January 8th 2012...


I have always had an issue with my weight my whole life so far...  I seem to eat when I am happy, sad, stressed and bored... 
I have always been that FAT friend trying to fit with others so maybe I have hid behind my weight this whole time...  But not anymore I am ready to lose this weight and finally get healthy for myself and my family...  I want to be around a long time for my family...  As my boys get older I don't to be that FAT mom and put it on my children to defend me to others...
My husband is totally awesome and I know loves me no matter what and I want to get healthy so we can grow old together...  Plus on a side note: I want to be his bombshell....

So why has the weight loss worked for a bit times before and why will it work out now...   First and foremost when I have lost weight before I have done it on my own strength and to be honest it didn't last long...   This time is totally different when I finally made the choice to begin this journey I prayed and asked God for his strength...

So this is my year to get healthy and to lose this weight for good.....

Thank you for joining me on this life changing journey....
