As I start on my weight loss journey I am overcome by obstacles that work to tear myself down. Everyday is a multi-faceted challenge, from deciding what to eat to fight cravings such as candy. Working in a grocery store doesn't help either. lol
I pray everyday that God will help me stop those cravings. Because ultimately its the habits and the emotional connection that i keeping me from breaking away completely.
To understand my eating problems some things are necessary to know about me. I have been overweight for the majority of my life. It started with the fighting.
My parents we married for almost 10 years before they had me and you would think that they were pretty stable. Well when i was ten they got divorced and i turned to food, the only thing that had never abandoned me. I still remember my dad leaving for the last time with me clinging to his leg screaming for him not to leave.
From that point onward my weight was a yo-yo.
Now that I am a senior in college i am determined to talk control of my own destiny and become healthy. So far i have lost 13lbs in the past 2.5 weeks. My goal is 30lbs by the start of school. I am hoping to surpass that, but its a good starting point. I will post as often as i can to post ambitions, advice, and updates on my weight loss. Thanks for tuning in and I hope that I can help or serve as a means to help anyone out there that is going through what I am.
