Hey everyone! It's been a bit since I wrote last.
Well, I had a hard time last week with food. Made a lot of bad choices. It's really hard for me to make good decisions when I go out to eat or to someone else's house to eat. It's so easy when I stay home because all I have in my house is good stuff.
Starting new this week. Don't know if I gained any weight back because of last week but I am going to do better this week. Taking it a day at a time. I pray the Lord helps me to be strong to make good choices. Phillipians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Please keep me in your prayers as well. Thanks all!

Soo...
...the middle button on my new coat actually buttons now! Very exciting. I haven't weighed myself yet since starting to eat better. I think I am going to wait a few more weeks.
Yesterday was an interesting day. I went to my Grandma's house all day and man does my Grandma have a load of snacks. She brings out everything! But I was good mostly. I had Special K Cinnamon Pecan Cereal for breakfast, had eggs and bacon for lunch....lots of protein. Then for dinner we picked up pizza and I limited myself to 2 slices, but boy were they tasty. Had a Special K snack bar at 8pm and went to bed satisfied. I would say it was a good day.
For some reason, probably by the grace of God, I am finding it easier to make the right decisions about what I eat. I pray each day He gives me strength to get through the day!

New Beginnings!
Hey all!
This is my first blog. I have never blogged anything in my whole life so be patient with me while I am figuring this program out.
So as of last week I have been eating healthier and watching how much food I take in all together.
Forever I can remember using food as a drug to drown out my pain. I had a hard childhood and as a child we would be rewarded with food; ice cream, McDonald's and such. As I have gotten older I find myself continuing the same pattern. I eat now when I am sad and even happy. Food in my life was always part of celebrating. Family functions were always a potluck and adults always wanted us kids to "go back for more".
I NEED to put a stop to this pattern and I know it's going to be a very hard path but I am motivated and determined to stick it out.
Last time I was at the doctor I weighed 350lbs. To be healthy I need to lose about 170lbs. Whoah!!! That's a lot. More then some people weigh total. When I began high school I weighed 150 and I was pretty healthy. I wore a size 11 and was still not happy with how I looked. I am hoping as I lose the weight that I will find a new appreciation of my body and will become satisfied with how I look; don't worry I am in therapy...lol.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this journey I am starting and give lots of support because I need it! Thanks for reading!
