January of 2011 I looked at myself in the mirror and did not like what I saw or how I felt. That is whn I decided to take control of the thngs thatI could in my life and make some positive changes.I began to watch what I ate and exercise and before I knew it I lost 40 pounds and felt great (physically). That was when I started to look at other aspects of my life. I had spent many years (22) in a controlling marraige where everything that went wrong was "my fault". I spent a lot of time apolpgizing and taking the blame for thinkgs that weren't my fault. I asked to go to counselling for 15 years and was told that I could go because the problems were mine. So lat August I did go and realized that nothing was going to change so I file for divorce.
As you can imagine, while the best thing for me, it was a very stressful time. I actually lost too much weight at thei time and looked very unhealthy. As time went by things got better and I was happy and hopeful about the future. Then shortly after Christmas my mother unexpextedly pasted away.
I'm not sure exactly when but some where along the line I've started picking bad habits back up along with some weight. All my clothes still fit but they are getting tight. I stopped keeping track of my food and exercise and haven't been exercising how I used to.
It's time to get myself together andstop makeing excuses. I can't lose all the good I've done. Who knows, maybe I'll even start daating again. I'd love to recommit to all my friends who haven't dropped me and invite new friends for support and be supported.
The past year has been the one of the toughest I've ever had but I got to stop with the excuses. Everyone has em. It's time to get my life started again! Who's with me!!
