Day One

Apr 07, 2015

Hello all,

As stated in my intro, I received the sleeve in 2012.  It is almost 3 years post op, and I am almost back to my original starting weight before surgery.  However, I refuse to get another surgery.  This time I want to do it all on my own.  So starting today, right now, I am determined to make a change.  I was inspired my a mini-book written by a lady know as Lakeitha Duncan.  Some of the things that have contributed to my unsuccess(because I refuse to be a failure) is the fact that I am an emotional eater, I am very low income (I eat what I can afford), and I have to admit it, but I lack consistent motivation.  However, I am ready to overcome these obstacles and be successful with my weight loss journey. I have been in grad school for the past 2 years, and I must admit, this is when I have gained the most weight in my life! I am stressed and I feel like I do not have enough hours in the day.  However, I have set a plan that will counteract the negative circumstances and enhance my chances for success.  Here are some my goals that I would like to achieve:

Lose 100 lbs by my 30th birthday which is in exactly one year, 1 month, and 2 weeks from today. 

I want to be able to run a mile in less than 10 minutes (without a treadmill)

I want to be able to ride a roller coaster comfortably after bungee jumping (hey, all my goals don't have to be so serious... But seriously, this is a true goal of mine LBVS)

 

I know there will be days that I feel like I can't go on... I will mess up, and I will feel like my work is getting no results.  However, "a just man falls 7 times.  What makes him righteous is that he gets back up again".  I refuse to fall down and stay down.  This is an ultimate low for me, and I have no other choice to go but up.  I will need YOUR HELP! So please help me stay encouraged.  I promise to do the same for you.
