there, I've said it.
It's humbling asking for help.
Admitting your fat. Duh, everyone can see it.
but there's something about naming the truth.
It's making me very aware of what I'm putting in my body.
I come from a line of women that struggle with their weight; so I've always tried to be careful about what I eat but along with that I've learned that my self-esteem comes from God and not from my body. Which is good; but also it not good...because obviously I am overweight but it didn't bother me (a whole lot)
but now...
I'm heavier than I've ever been in my entire life. (blushes) and it's time to get serious.
Here's why?
(This list is for me...to encourage...and remind)
#1) Because I love God and want to take care of my body.
#2) Because I want a higher quality of life.
#3) Because I want to feel good
#4) Because I want to buy new clothes...haha!
I want to make reasons like "because food is over-rated" but we know that's not true.
I apologize that you need to go on this journey with me. I've decided by sharing it with the world that it will keep me more accountable. I'm also working on being more transparent in life and this feels very vulnerable.
Now that I've told you I will let you know how it's going...Sunday's are weigh-in day...so I will make that my weekly "healthy-er living" post...
eat your greens, -mary
