RESET BUTTON

Well after 1 year of trial and Error on my part, not all in it with my whole heart here I am with a huge Reset button!!! I have gone threw my fitness pal, herb life, body by VI, even like 4 days on htc diet with all failed attempts on my part.
Just got home from a family trip the my girls and hubby, to come home and look at pictures our trip were I was honestly truly and for the first time discussed with they way I looked. Until then I always knew I was Fat, but in my mind I wasn’t that big, I could still play with the girls, I could keep up with what ever was thrown my way. Well it was a true slap in the face when I sat down and looked at those pictures. I am the fat girl; I am the very unhealthy looking girl that I never wanted to be.
I do believe I needed to see it to truly want the better life. I would stop running or walking outside incase someone would see me...and say oh look at that fat girl running or what ever negative thought that would pop into my head...but in clear reality people would really say: look at that fat girl sitting there eating that Mc Donald’s burger. Lesson learned there!
Today is the day that I have pushed that reset button and am fully prepared to put my 100% effort into the new me the new lifestyle for me and my family the endless hard work I am committed to put into me. It is now time for me time for me to give back to me. The time of health.
I can’t say this year has been a waste I have learned allot about myself... I am a procrastinator, I don’t ever put myself first, I loose interests very fast in things (i.e. workouts, foods) oh and all the negative list goes on and on. Loll

Well I figured if I posted this up there I would be more driven to keep up the post and updates as to where I have come and how far I have went.

With all this said I wish you all good luck in your journeys as with mine. I will post updates once a month. Please if you have any advice or any tips or even words of encourage meant to help keep me on track I will take them with open arms.
Thanks for listening to me!
Cheers everyone

It has to happen in your head, the committment for change, and it appears you have reached that point. For MONTHS I knew I was a fat woman and my clothes just kept getting tighter and tighter. I didn't want to do anything about it, well, I did, but wasn't committed to making the changes I needed to make. Finally, back pain and "fat clothes" that didn't even fit sent me over to the other side. The pictures from your trip did that for you. MFP is a great place to be accountable to others with similar goals and mindset. You can do this! Feel free to friend me...I will support you through the ups and downs of this journey. Just remember it is a journey, you will have good days and not-so-good days, the trick is to have more good days than not-so-good ones!! Don't let the small setbacks derail you, OK? You got this!! Let's do it!
