Happy Thursday everybody! This journal entry is for my reflection. Feel free to comment if you want.
I've been reflecting on some of the things that have changed since starting this WOE (January 2010). Medications have gone from fifteen different prescriptions to zero. Off blood pressure meds, anti-depressants, heavy pain meds. I've gone from a size 5X pants to a size 16. Shirts from a 5X to a Large. Weight from 286 to 194 pounds. I have had to overcome and still battle living with pain from injuries and a past cancer that left one of my shoulders in alot of pain.
I feel more energized than a year ago. Still battle eating the wrong things sometimes. However, I am going to stand firm in my resolve to a healthier me. That means dealing with things spiritually, emotionally, and physically. The following Rocky song says many things to different people. To me it says stand up and fight for what you want. Change what you can and live with what pain you have to. For me I have to pray to get through all of these challenges. I can do this with God's help!
We Can Do It With God's Help and the help of our Fatsecret buddies!
Hope all of my peeps have a great Thurday! Enjoy the song. Love and Hugs{{{}}}

Leanne, you are a strong, compassionate, hard working person. All of us struggle to not give up on our dreams; however, we must perservere. You are still in my thoughts and prayers today as you see the doctor. I really hope that they are able to do something for your shoulder so that you can sleep better too and get relief from the pain. Love and Hug{{{}}}

Morning Cindy, love the pic of your other granddaughter. And congrats on all your changes. You have done a simply wonderful job, and have changed your life. Wishing you continued success though there is no 'wishing' about it, I have no doubt you will reach all your goals. Very, very impressive.

Thanks Loosin and Issy! You're right Loosin we will mess up at times or maybe even plan a splurge. Getting right back on plan is what we have to do. I can remember the days that I tried to diet. Hate that word 'diet'! Anyhow, I always failed because I couldn't keep to it. Atkins has helped me stay on track longer than any WOE. Here's to all my buddies too that have helped me. We Can Do It With God's Help and the help of our Fatsecret buddies! Love and Hugs{{{}}}

Thanks Terri! Isn't it great to find a way to get healthy without feeling hungry all the time. Yes, I do still have to chase away the carb monster, but it is not as hard as it was in the beginning. Have a great day!
