A new day

I told you that I was reading other books on weight loss. I can't put down "Rise Above" by Gwen Shamblin. Once I finish it I'll let you know what I really think. So far it's been a very good read, very blessed and motivational. I've been feeling great. God has given me a new love for myself, as I am. The change has started on the inside. I'll keep praying and I'm staying alert for it's a daily battle....

SELF-CONTROL!

I got the best e-mail from a dear friend today. She said I need a lot of self-control, which is true and which even the blind can see. It's good to get encouragement. Sometimes it feels like I'm in it by myself - which I am in a sense of the process. She said "don't cheat, not even for a split of a second and see what happens." I will girl friend, I will! I've done well today, so far, thank God. When...

Inspiration

This is my friend Lu Francesa, she's an inspiration! Here is her blog. Easter season in the States is very different from the one at home. Good chocolate is available all over at home, here you really have to look for the real thing so I don't bother looking for it. No giant cholocate eggs around here either, so that's more points for me. After graduation I cease from having huge Easter dinners at...

confidence

I feel more confident today than yesterday. I know what I can accomplish if I stick with the plan towards my goal. I've been walking more this week. The weather is much better, which helps a lot. I wish there was another way but it seems like exercising is the way to drop the weight and reach my goal. I've been checking on my weight often. I promise I'll wait til next week. It's time to pay attention...

This is me!

Have you heard my story? Well, I thought I'd tell it again since I can't figure out how to leave it permanently on the side bar of this blog... Rewind 10 years. 1996 was a golden year in many ways. I lost over 20 kilos, I got down to 55 kilos. It took a while. It took around a year. It took support at home and support from girl friends in school. Suddenly the fat jokes ceased. Okay, every now a then...
