Ok, so as you can see my last blog was hummm..... about 7 months ago. Yeah, lets just say I was side tracked. And let me confess I have used every excuse to tell myself that what I did was ok, too much stress, to many things happening to make it to the gym, I can eat that since we are traveling, its the holidays so I can eat what I want and start fresh tomorrow. How many of you have told yourself the exact same things just to make yourself feel better about not staying on track? Oh, the lies we tell ourselves. I think they do the most damage.
So this morning I was doing my normal "run over the news" on CNN and I came across this video, yeah you need to watch it....

I was so upset. I am watching this video thinking to myself, "geeze that could have been me." If my calculations are correct, she wasn't much heavier than I am. I can't fathom how that must have felt for all three women involved. Is that what it is going to take to get me on the right path, to be ridiculed publicly because of my weight? It is a scary thought. I have never been really ridiculed because of my weight, nor have I ever really felt that kind of humiliation, unless you count my trip to the amusement park last year. I think I might just passout if that was to happen to me. So, after watching this story I checked out Kenlie's blog and I was so inspired. If she can start at well over 400 lbs and loose 114lbs in year, why can't I. So, when I get home today I am going to put the body bug back on (even though I hate having it on my arm) and I am going to being this new adventure or continue on the one I began last year. And I am going to try to keep in mind, "take it each day at a time" I am the type of person I like to think of tomorrow before it is even here. I must say, its really not a way to approach weight loss. I am still learning, and I know I will make my goal some day, but for today that's all I have.
Here is the link to Kenlie's blog if you would like to check it out.
