I Accept Myself Unconditionally Just as I am in 2013
2013 will be the year for me!
Life has not always been easy for me but I see it as an adventure. Currently, my adventure is taking me through a lifestyle change where I am working to change my eating and exercise patterns. But the toughest part for me is to beat the emotional eating,,,, indulging in fattening foods is a momentary pleasure that leaves a nasty after taste when I look in the mirror.

2013 will be the year for me!
Life has not always been easy for me but I see it as an adventure. Currently, my adventure is taking me through a lifestyle change where I am working to change my eating and exercise patterns. But the toughest part for me is to beat the emotional eating,,,, indulging in fattening foods is a momentary pleasure that leaves a nasty after taste when I look in the mirror.
Changes in life in 2012 were difficult to accept for me,,,,,, a pending divorce and being responsible for 3 children,,, living life as a single mother,,, no one to really turn to when the water heater breaks or the sprinklers fail,,, or the heater does not work. I kept turning to food to relax me,,, and that is simply not the purpose of food.
It is what it is and sometimes we just need to be kind to ourselves when we fail. We cannot always succeed. I have failed so many times but this time I am ready for a real change in my life and I know that I can do it! I believe that I can do it! Sometimes that is all it takes,,, believing.
It is time to find myself,,,,,,, and accept myself unconditionally. It is time for positive change,,, for myself and my health,,,,, I do want to be there for my kids and I want to see my grandkids.... and I want to learn to take better care of me.... eventually maybe even find a new man in my life. But right now,,,, in 2013 ,,, the focus is on being the best that I can be.
I am going to be accountable to myself this year and list my weight every single week for the year:

"The common conception is that motivation leads to action, but the reverse is true....action precedes motivation.
You have to "prime the pump" and get the juice flowing, which motivates you to work on your goals.
Getting momentum going is the most difficult part of the job, and often taking the first step is enough to prompt you to make the best of your day."
-Robert McKain
