Tonight I started watching this show called Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition, I watched this woman Stacey's journey her starting weight was 456 pounds. It just goes to show you that no matter what you weigh its never too late to start living a healther lifestyle. This show has me re-motivated in concurring my weight loss goals. In two months will mark my one year mark for embarking on this journey. Its been one hell of a ride and I am still on this weight loss train- still have roughly another thirty pounds to lose I am trying to stay focused and not fall off. I have found myself slipping with my nutrition slightly but I have been able to get back on if I feel I am about to go backward rather than forward. Some of the things that make me want to resort to those unhealthy foods are mainly stress or emotional eating. I know now that this will constantly be a struggle for me and something I must really watch throughout my daily life. I continue to pray for strength and look unto friends and family to be my cheerleaders and you all have been so wonderful in helping me to keep pushing thru. My husband and I plan to hopefully start a family at the start of the new year in January 2012. I am hoping to be at my goal weight of 135 by then and I'm taking great strides to make it there. Recently, I signed up for a 5k walk to help get the word out on Domestic Violence. I am raising $200 for Women in Distress of Broward County- they help out victims of domestic violence within the South Florida area. I will enclose my fundraising website if anyone is interested in making a contribution. I wanted to do this walk last year but I didn't believe in my self to actually finish this 5k, this year is quite different for me having lost 46 pounds and continuing to lose and work on my goals i felt it was time to do something like this. I believe in this organziation and i know first hand just how much they help out in our community.
