Trying to Lose Weight
My battle with weight loss is nearing its homestretch – close to a decade already. I got a wake up call when I realized my eldest is turning 11 this year and here I am still stuck with the pregnant belly I had with him 10 years ago! It’s really a hard battle for me. Defining what triggers me to eat and to totally change habits that have been deeply ingrained within me are terrifying.
I need help. Whether it be moral, emotional support or safe weight loss diet pills – I am all up for it. Right now, I really need the discipline and the perseverance to actually go through with everything. I can be quite disciplined and focus this week but slack off the next. I need to realize that this is a lifelong undo-it-yourself project and that I need to watch my weight and what I eat, probably as long as I live.
I think what I need to unlearn first of all is that food will not make me happy, not in the long term anyway. And that being healthy is more important than being able to satisfy your short-term cravings. Moderation needs to be learned as well and trying to find the time and will to actually get moving and exercise.
Pray for me.
