An Unhealthy Me

I am 100% a stress eater. I have been under more stress this year than ever in my life. That means I have gained weight...not good. I tried to make a change a few weeks ago, but after a few days I just went right back to my old ways. We had a full week of pouring rain and I used that as my excuse to not exercise. I'm back into old habits. I've done more diets than I can count. I've gained and lost weight so much that I'm sure I've owned every size clothes possible. But this is getting old. I really want to get to a normal weight and stay there. I have never been able to do that. I am so tired of being unhealthy and lazy.

I'm determined to make a change. I am starting First Place...again. I have a friend here that has also done it in the past and wants to make some changes. Accountability always helps. But really I just have to make up my mind to do it. The food is so different here, anything I eat outside of my home is cooked in oil. It will take even more effort than ever before. It just can't go on. I don't want to continue in this 'yo-yo' dieting. I want to get healthy for myself but also for my children. If I don't set a good example now then they will just follow in my foot steps. I like to eat but I'm starting to see that I like health more.

I'll be praying hard for these changes. I would love it if there is anyone out there who will give me a little prayer support.

We're supporting you! I will be right there with you when this baby comes. I already weigh as much now as I did when I gave birth to Lily. How did that happen? lol :)
