I did it. I said yes.
I took that first step. I took that first step and said yes to my forever. To my forever happiness, to bliss, to joy. Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone. But I am not talking about a man. I did that 25 years ago. And saying yes to this, will hopefully give me 25 years of more wedded bliss with this man I love.
What did I do?
On Wednesday, June 7, I walked into the University of Alabama of Birmingham Weight Loss Medicine Services for help. I did not walk in for Bariatric Surgery. I walked in for help to lose my weight. There is nothing wrong with people who chose to lose their weight that way. However, I do not.
I am having trouble losing my weight because of a back injury. I put my weight on because I have been sitting around depressed with anxiety and not being able to move. The more I sit around and not being able to move, the more the weight has come one. I wasn’t eating all that much, but the emotional toll was taking a toll on my body.
Why am I blogging?
So, I have started this blog to journal my journey. I have learned in the past that I do better at any weight loss journey by being open and honest with myself. So, I am going to do that by writing about it. And writing about it openly with the world this time. I want to let everyone know what I am going through. The ups and the downs.
It is my hope that this is something that you might want to join me on. I am going to share my favorite recipes, my favorite exercises, my dreams, my emotional ups and downs, my favorites inspirational products to help encourage me along the way…I will share everything with you. My life will be an open book.
I hope you will join me.
