This Lady Is Losing It
I am the mother of 5 children, 22, 20, 17, 12, 10. Like many mothers I did not
look like Princess Kate throughout my pregnancy. I did not experience the
breastfeeding drop in fat and pounds, and I did not resume my pre-pregancy
size ever. Each pregnancy made me a little more pudgy. Each time I breastfed
each of my children I fed them and I ate, sometimes I ate while they ate,
sometimes after, sometimes before during and after. Let me tell you, each
child was worth the deterioration to my body, but there comes a day when
enough is enough and no matter how difficult it is you just have to force
yourself to turn things around. That is where I am at today and this is my
journey.
I was not always over weight and I have had many ups and downs. I have lost 70-90 pounds twice returning to my pre-diet weight time and again. This time I am changing everything I do for life - ti love life, to get back in the game, and to live until I am 90! I want the healthy life I have deprived myself of!
I hope to inspire, enlighten, and encourage anyone who has struggled with a life time of weight or a short-time with extra pounds. No one knows what it feels like to be over weight or live daily with the added burden of lugging around 10-100 extra pounds better than the person wearing those shoes.
So here I am in my 40's, 90+ pounds over weight and ready to do something about it. I have tried the following:
* Weight Watchers
* Doctor assisted weight programs
* Diet Pills
*Zenica
*Weight Watchers again
*Starvation and more diet pills.
* Two times dropped out of gastric bypass just before surgery (YES, I paid for all testing and counseling and just could not go through with it!)
Today I begin by putting one foot in front of the other and walking, I will eat 1200 calories and stop. I will drink water, and I will blog about the journey every day sharing pictures and progress as well as setbacks should I encounter them. I hope you will enjoy sharing this journey with me as - This Lady Loses It!
Tonight as I prepare for my journey I thank God for my life and the ability to make good choices to create a healthier body and soul!
Please join me in this journey and we can Lose It Together!
