Well....for those of you crazy people that enjoy by blog...here we go again!!! As you can see it has been 2 years since I blogged and obviously a lot has changed within those 2 years!! Long story short...I'm still over weight!! I have a feeling that will be with me my whole life; however, it is how I deal with it that will get me through. I have decided to do this blog a little differently and not focus so much on the number and how much weight I've lot but yet how I'm feeling throughout this adventure as well as the ups, downs, feelings, emotions, and reasons behind the eating. In other words, looking at this food addiction and wonder why in the hell it has consumed me!!! Now, let me begin by throwing out some disclaimers!! Remember...this is my blog, my feelings, and my thoughts! I love any verbal feedback; however, PLEASE do not EVER tell me I shouldn't feel that way or you're beautiful just the way you are, or you're not addicted to food, or just try to eat a little bit of chocolate to fulfill your cravings!!!! For those of you that don't know me, I'm an all or nothing type of person...hence...addiction!! I envy those of you that can eat a miniature candy bar and feel content....NOT ME!!!! I compare it to giving a half of a beer to an alcoholic and telling them that should satisfy your craving!!! Oh it satisfied it all right as well as opened up a BEAST inside of me to just seek out more junk food. Trust me, if it is not in my reach...I will make it in my reach! Another thing is this is my blog; therefore, my spelling and grammatical mistakes!!! One last thing is...the way I eat is the way I eat. PLEASE don't criticize the food I consume or tell me I'm eating too much protein or certain things are gross. If you don't like it, please don't do it then!!! If you feel that this blog would help anyone you know within your life please feel free to pass it along. It is still my dream and goal to help over weight people succeed in the future!!! OK...with all of this being said here is the plan of my blog. I will not be sharing my weight with you for a couple of reasons...one to be quite honest I don't know what it is! I have a ball park figure but I'm very ashamed and embarrassed to step on a scale right now. Also, as I mentioned earlier I don't want to focus on the number. I think in the past I would get frustrated if I gained, barely lost anything, or didn't lose what I thought I should. So...at some point I will share how much I've lost but it will not be the focus. My main focus is to look at and discuss why I am overweight. The obvious answer is because I take in too many calories and don't get rid of any of them through exercise!! However, it goes beyond that!! There are emotions, thoughts, and feelings that usually go behind my eating. Some call it emotional eating...I call it addiction! So...if you're still reading this...I commend you!! Let's buckle our seat belts, put on our stretchy pants and enjoy the ride!!!
I will be writing nightly...some longer than others...but the goal is a nightly blog! Tomorrow I will start dissecting what does this food addiction mean and look like as it applies to my life! Again...any feedback is appreciated and know that I appreciate each and every one of you for being my cheer leader!!!
Love and Peace...Jvonne
