Finding me ... The quest..

My health, And my Family... should always come first. I am learning  still I guess that what life is about. You make mistakes and if you are lucky you get the wake up call you need. And hopefully you can get things where they need to be. I guess that I had always just gotten used to my weight and got comfortable with my size and shape. But I now 90 lbs lesser. Are still learning and still growing. Yes I have lost weight. Yes I need to lose more. Yes I am still trying, But I had to maintain for a while, And learn who I was. My husband got importable with how much I had lost because he was worried that I would leave him. Or be happy to be thiner and want to change my whole life. I have heard stories. Some good some bad, About how it has happened. But I love my Husband and I love my child. I know or lives are not easy but that is not me.

But I did go Thur a phase, Of who am I now? Am I a house wife? Am I something more? I am still finding out what all I am now. I feel like it is now my time to step out of the shadow of my child and my husband. I am now starting to learn that I need time for myself. To recharge my battery's. And really get to how am I ?   I am learning that I am more than a house wife, I am an inspiration to others. And I have no idea how I did that. I still feel surreal about that.. I am happy to know that others hearing my words out there are inspired to keep going.. I am trying so hard myself. It still amazes me that others get so much from my words. I need to give more back in return. But I have been so hard on myself. I have failed. But where there is failure. There is a chance to start again. SO I am starting again. I am Dusting myself back off. Praying for strength. And Hoping for sauces.

I have started to run a small business on my own. And I am so glad to look at myself in the mirror now. I can smile at myself. I know I still have weight to lose but even now when I put makeup on I can smile and I feel better about myself and I can say wow you know what? I am worth this. I am worth it!  For people to listen to me,  I am a good. person. Will find my way Thur this. I will lose this weight and I will... Write my blog on a weekly basis.. Without having to be reminded. I am blessed in so many ways. Thank you

you go girl:)! in some ways my husband felt the same as yours but as i have been losing the weight and i guess looking better-least to others to me i still see myself as the "fat" person, but my family has reliezed that b/c i am doing this for myself i am also doing this for them-to be around for them and hopefully to see lots of grandchildren. and they are ok w/that. not everyone that i see says anything about my weight lose,not sure if they are not aware i am losing wgt normally or that i maybe sick- plus i am still wearing my "fat"clothes and that could be some of it- but you hang in there- lord knows i am tring-i feel off the wagon and trying to get back on it-i just need to have faith:)kimmie

Nice post! GA is also my biggest earning. However, it’s not a much.
