Emotional Eater

I have always known that I was an emotional eater. My Aunt Velma passed away last night. I am struggling so hard not to eat everything in my house. I am thankful Take Shape For Life is a regimented program. If I was on another program like Weight Watchers I would've eaten all of my points already. I am really fighting it. It's so hard. I am relying on God to get me through and to not use food as a crutch for how I am feeling but only for what it is supposed to be used for and that is to nourish my body. I need to rely on God to help with the feelings of sadness and allow Him to comfort me. Please pray for my family. Thank you

Fall

Fall is in the air - As I snuggled with Christian this morning and my room was not sweltering hot - it reminded me of some of my fondest moments, snuggling with my mom in her bed. I love the crisp air, the smells and the family fun that happens in the next few months. I am a winter girl. I'd rather be cold and I love the rain. I hope we go to the snow again this year. The kids loved it last year. This is an exciting time!!!!!

Even at a Retreat

This weekend I went to a Women's Retreat with my church. I still lost 1.8lbs. I have about 24.5lbs til I reach my first goal. I'm really excited!!!!

170's

Hi friends - I am now a member of the 170's!!!! I am so excited!!! I lost 4.9lbs this week. I weigh 176.4. I have lost 36.6 lbs in 12 weeks. I'm sure many people think that this is too fast. That's what's great about Take Shape For Life is that when I get to where I want to be - I will be able to maintain. I'm so thankful they don't leave me high and dry to gain the weight back. With an awesome program I will be able to maintain!!! Next week I am going to a Women's Retreat!!! So I will weigh myself on Mon. I'm pretty excited to be in the 170's. I am 5.4lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight with Moriah. Though I was overweight when I got pregnant - I haven't seen these numbers in a long time. Here's to being healthy!!!!
