I Can See it Now

My weight loss journey has been long and slow. I don't go to the gym. I do my own exercises. Sometimes in life things can become so overwhelming that exercise has to go to the bottom of my list. The work I do 7 days a week, 12 hours a day is very demanding both mentally and physically. It's God that keeps me going. Even when I'm exhausted I know I can never give up and never quit! 

My weight has come off slowly. The more weight I lose the harder it is to lose. For the longest time, I couldn't even see the weight loss. I still struggle with that everyday. I look in the mirror and I could swear I'm bigger than I was yesterday. I know it sounds ridiculous but the mind can play many tricks on us. I struggle to see how much smaller I am now than when I began this journey. 

These days I'm thinking about putting myself in maintenance mode and giving myself an emotional break for a week or two. Maintenance mode is no intentional weight loss or weight gain. Just maintaining the current weight. Trust me, losing weight is a daily struggle. And it can be exhausting at times. Self-control and denying myself during this journey has been the reason I've come this far. Thank you God!



From being close to 400 lbs. to now being in the mid 200's is big deal for me! I'm still a very big girl but not as big as I used to be! I don't want to step on the scale. I'm more than likely under 250 lbs. but I hate what the scale can do to me mentally. So I will rarely step on the thing. 

I found a picture taken by food delivery in February 2023. I just happened to be in the picture, that they were taking of the food. It's not a very clear or detailed photo but I can see my size. 

I was shocked because I could see my weight loss clearly. It was a WOW moment! I thought, I Can See It Now! I really have lost a lot of weight!! The picture is included with this post. Yeah. I'm still a very big girl but those of you who knew me when I was almost 400 lbs. should see the difference now too!

God is gracious to me! I thank Him for helping me get this far! All Glory to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and my Father Jehovah God Almighty! God is GOOD!

NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER QUIT!

YOU CAN DO IT!

YOU GOT THIS!

Don't Be Afraid of Stand Still

Hello everyone! Don't be afraid of standing still. What I mean is standing still in your weight loss journey. There will be periods of time that your weight loss will stand still. I mean really still. You will not lose weight yet you're sticking to proper eating habits and exercise. This too shall pass. I've gone through periods like this often enough.  I remember, it seemed like I couldn't lose weight no matter what. All of a sudden it was like I dropped twenty pounds overnight. I'm serious, I noticed I'd lost a lot of inches my clothes were much bigger on me. I also want to point out you may not lose pounds but you will be losing inches. Look I've learned to just go with the flow. If you don't learn to go with the flow you will become an emotional roll coaster on your weight loss journey.  Just take a deep breath. Everything will be alright! Really! Just keep going. At the beginning of your weight loss journey. The weight will come off pretty easy and ...

Take Your Time, But Hurry Up!

Take your time, but hurry up! This is a line that someone I  knew loved to tell any and everyone! Running a little late? No, problem. Take your time, but hurry up. He'd use this line on every occasion it applied. It would catch people off guard and often after digesting what was said, they would chuckle. He was kidding but not really. It was his humorous  way of saying hurry up! It's time to go! When it comes to changing your lifestyle to live healthier, I say, take your time, but hurry up! Time is against us. There is no time to waste, so let your journey begin today. Not everyone who needs to change their diet to a healthy diet is overweight, obese or morbidly obese. But what you eat everyday is unhealthy. You have a diet full of sugar, fried foods, red meats, processed foods and so much more. You don't have a balance of fresh fruits or vegetables. Some of you don't eat fruits or vegetables at all. How could you possibly be healthy? You don't even drink water. You...
