Committed to improving me!
I found spark people on August 20th, 2009, as a result of a fairly traumatic weigh in on August 17th. It has been a rather crappy year so far. My grandpa passed away on January 8th, and that same day my mom was diagnosed with cancer. She passed away on May 17th. During that 4th months i managed to gain around 20lbs. Probably because all of the foods that neighbors, friends, and family brought over were HIGH in fat. And when i wasn't eating that I was eating anything from pizza to burgers ...
I found spark people on August 20th, 2009, as a result of a fairly traumatic weigh in on August 17th. It has been a rather crappy year so far. My grandpa passed away on January 8th, and that same day my mom was diagnosed with cancer. She passed away on May 17th. During that 4th months i managed to gain around 20lbs. Probably because all of the foods that neighbors, friends, and family brought over were HIGH in fat. And when i wasn't eating that I was eating anything from pizza to burgers from the hospital cafe. When my mom passed I told myself that i needed to focus on getting in shape. Well, another 3 months passed and each day seemed to be full of emotional eating. When I wasn't grieving I was busy with added stress from planning my brother's August wedding. I got on the scale on August 17th, the 3 month anniversary of my mom's passing, and i GAINED another 23 lbs!!! How does someone gain 43 lbs in 8 months?! it's insane! Things have been out of control! So it was on that day that i decided enough was enough. I'm sick of being the fat girl! I need to focus on me and I need to get my weight under control NOW, not tomorrow. I'm sick of not controlling something that I CAN control.
I'm going wake up every day with the realization that this is it, that there's only one shot at this life and I can either enjoy the ride and live it to its fullest and to my highest potential or I can stay the way I am. I'm not going to let the tragedies of my past deify who I am. I AM going to turn my life around and I'm doing it today!
