Here is a topic for discussion. About 3 or 4 or so years ago I remember this distinctly because it has to be one of the most idiotic things I have ever said....and I say a lot of stupid stuff.
So I was working and my supervisor at the time who is really like a good buddy and a co-worker and I were talking about how we all need to lose weight, or how the holidays were coming up and that meant lbs or something to that effect. Anyway I said " Well I know I will probably get cancer or diabetes because I am big girl " They just looked at me like I was the most stupid person in the whole wide world and then my supervisor says "Really? because you can change that you know"
I knew immediately after I said it, how ridiculous that sounded. But to see those two people look at me with those eyes that said " unbelievable, did she really say that?" it was the starting of my awakening into what I hope now is a change for the rest of my life. Sure I have had a few false starts and mess ups, I am human. But I have also had some success. Since regaining my mind that I lost temporarily, I did lose about 40lbs. I am trying very hard to go full veg. I did have a whole year and a half of that before I fell of the wagon. I love working out. I am walking my 2nd 5k, maybe we will get up to a run on Saturday and I am training for a relay in May with the goal of losing 60lbs by my next birthday in April. You guys know that even though I set an 60lb weight loss goal, its never been about the numbers.
I am a full believer that you can have and do anything you want if you put your mind to it, you just have to tell you mind to take walk away from crazy town now and again when you feel the doubt closing in.
