I always had a problem with what he was trying to tell me and I'd keep questioning myself about this and finally almost 2 years later I figured out what it meant for me.
It works for me because I don't need to plug into real life. I have always hid behind my weight, used for excuse not to have to do things, the bigger I got the more reason to say, I can't. But you know what , life is passing me by and at 51 I want to live.
I need to really work this key and stop behaving my way into keeping this weight on.
Hope to get back this weekend with more on this key.
Take care,
ttfn Love Barbara
For the most part I was in that same mind set....
I was the Mom that would say yes as long as it didn't inclue any extra movement on my part and if it included lots of food.
I have alway been on some DIET or another I lost mega amounts of weight and I put it all on again.
Like you it was easier to hide than take care of me....make me healthy was not in the stars...
Well that has all changed....I know what I want, I am determined to get it and keep it...HEALTH FOR ME...
Even with health issues you need to commit to YOU...no one else...for no other reason than to get your health inorder...Being over 50 and over weight is not a pretty place to be...but it is not an impossible place to be either...it just takes more work and more determination.....you have people on these boards that want you to want to succeed, but you have to want that for yourself first.
