Weight has been an issue for me for longer than I care to admit. It impacts my life more than I wish to admit. But it is time to admit it. It affects my marriage. It affects my ability to be a mother. It affects my interest in life around me. It affects the way I live.
I feel currently out of control, and I like control. I don't know how I let myself get to where I am and I don't know how to stop it. I am leaving for Disneyland in three days for my mom's 60th birthday and I am less excited than I should be because I feel so uncomfortable with myself, yet I don't have control over it. This blog is my attempt to gain control. This is my attempt to gain control over my feelings and my relationship with food. I don't know where to go so I am here. Here is where I plan to change my life.
I have ready a dozen books at least on food and diets and a healthier lifestyle. I feel I have a lot of tools and have made some good changes but I just am not feeling well at all right now. It is time....I am giving myself a bit to get my mind wrapped around my life and to get my Disneyland trip done and then I am on it.
I have made some healthier changes in my home. We are significantly reducing sugar consumption, as well as, simple grains. We are incorporating more whole grain foods which has been a transition but easier for me than for some. I think I need to reduce overall carbs/grains to feel better. We are eating more fruits and really need to get more veggies.
I want to feel good for my family. I want to be a good example. I want to feel good about myself and feel worthy about who I am. Becoming healthier overall will help me to do this.
