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.
