I haven't blogged for quite a while, so I guess I better get blogging! Kristina is letting me use her computer. Thanks! :)
I am at a scrap booking retreat. It's nice to have this time with my sisters, Mom and two nieces. It's very nice.
I have been eating the foods that are best for me and have been wishing we had a scale here, so I could see if I have made progress. I really think I have, but we'll see.
Last week on the biggest losers website, I posted that I was going to be the biggest loser of the week! Hee hee hee....I spoke too soon! But, I am pleased to announce that Jeff, my oldest brother, was the biggest loser this past week. I knew he would do really well. He's always been an inspiration to me with continuing to try. I am very proud of him, and I hope that I can follow his example and be the biggest loser next week! :) I guess we'll have to see about that, too.
I am feeling excited to going back home to Cean and Dimitri. I have so enjoyed having this time to do whatever I want whenever I want, but I am really missing my boys. :-)
I have been thinking about the positives of getting down to a healthy weight. Some of the things that I've thought of are: I'd have more energy, I wouldn't be embarrassed to meet other people, and I'd be able to play more easily with Dimitri. I would be able to go shopping for clothes in the regular shopping area rather than having to look for the "PLUS SIZE" section. I wouldn't have a double chin! Anyway, those are just some things that I will enjoy when I get down to a healthier weight. I have noticed that I have said a couple times to myself, "I hope I can do this. Can I do this?" Before I was saying, "I know I can do this." I think that I need to kind of refocus on having more faith in myself. I do believe that I can do this, and I want to do this. I feel that I owe it to myself to be successful this time. There have been so many things that have happened to me because of being overweight, that I don't want anything else to happen that makes life so much harder for me. I know that there are challenges in life no matter what size you are, but I think that as I get smaller I won't be in as much pain from past surgeries and issues that I've had. Anyway, now I'm just rambling on and on and on......Until next time.

Love reading your blog! You are a huge encouragment to me! I know you will do well and won't it be exciting to have a bunch more energy to do things! :)
ReplyDeleteJanie, you are on the right track when you focus on your "why". Those are the things that are integral to why you are willing to do things that your lower self may not want to do. When the dream is big enough, the facts don't count! Something to think about.
ReplyDeleteJanie, I'm so glad you posted again. I have missed reading what you have to say. It is really good when you have those introspective days and thoughts of why you are willing to go through this. I totally agree with Jeff. He is so wise. :-) Keep it up, you can and will do this. I beleive in you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your belief in me. It's nice to hear that. :) My dream is big enough, and I can do this! I will do this! Thanks all for your comments. You are all an encouragment to me as well. I love getting such positive comments! Thanks! :-)
