repaving the way

Starting to diet was a huge choice and sacrifice to begin with for me. Throughout this journey I think about the challenges from day to day. I think the more obese you are, the more issues you have and the harder it is. When you think about what needs to be done or you look at the "whole picture" it is overwhelming. Trust me when I say you need to take it step by step. If baby steps are what you need, then do it, don't try to do it, just get up and do it. For everything you do, be proud of your accomplishments, It is your mind and spirt that you have to face when you look into the mirror and if you are proud of who you see, you can continue. If you are having trouble starting, go to someone you trust. If you can't afford a gym or a trainer at this time, do simple things that you do have control of in your home. Choose healthier foods and move a little more. Take it from me, it has not been easy, it will not be a piece of cake in the furture, it WILL BE A life change. I so want to be part of helping others to a better life if I can. If you need want to ask me questions, want me to listen, or share more, I would gladly do it. We do not have to be alone.

When I started, I was happy that my trainer did not humiliate me. I saw people being measured at the gym who were somewhat over weight. Never have I seen an obese person being measured at the gym. I thought I escaped that. Truth is, it was waiting for me right around the corner. Now is the time where my trainer is revamping my whole program. My husband is on board and is ready to go to the next level also. This means we get measured, our diet is carefully monitored, and we step the exercise. It is a complete shift, but I know it has to be done. I am feeling worried about the changes ahead, just like when I started. I tell myself, it is the process, it is part of the journey, and it is what is going to get me to my end goal. I have to get there with all this work. Nothing else will get me where I want to be.
