I've tried to lose weight. I've even shared a bit on my blog, but after a few minor hiccups I get back into the rut of self-doubt.
But, I can't quit. Being overweight runs in my family. Diabetes runs in my family. Heart disease runs in my family. Get the picture? Yeah, me too. I'm about to leave home for 6 months and I don't want to leave here feeling defeated.
Here's my cry, my plea to myself. Enough is enough. I'm letting go of fear, self-doubt and the pity party that has clung on to me (or should I say, I have clung onto it) for dear life!
This weekend will be filled with researching and planning. Next week I plan to do a juice fast, and the week after that I'm ready to dive head first into a new and better lifestyle!
I can't do this on my own. Encouragement is wanted. If you have tips or words of hope, please share!
Ren, you only get one life so go for it! Be encouraged and God will navigate your journey to the best you that you can be! I can really relate and I too am making the same decision to reclaim a better and healthier lifestyle....exciting, scary, and enlightening all at the same time!
