Lose It For Liffe (LIFL)

So, I started a new book this week. And, WOW, is it ever good!!

I've felt for some time, now, that this journey I'm on is about more than what I put in my mouth... And, BOY, was I right!! I had a "clicking" moment last week that really woke me up... Something just clicked, I connected the dot from my emotions about something, to the very-over-my-points-that-day eating binge I had gone on.

So, I told Steve, "Honey, I really need to start that LIFL book..." So, he surprised me & ordered it!! :) It was probably the only time he'll ever be able to surprise me in a good way with something that says "You need to lose weight!!" LOL

Seriously, as the book put it, I've taken the red pill, and I've gotta tell you, it hurts going down... Reality is not easy to swallow, sometimes, especially when it's about ourselves.





So, I've been doing not so hot with the WW's, but I've kept going to meetings, and last week, I even "checked out" our class mascot, Hungry!! The kids loved him, and having him around did help me stop & think before I put something in my mouth.

So, onward & down-ward, I say!! :) Here's to figuring out how to "Lose It For Life"!!

  1. LOL. I had to laugh at your checking out Hungry! He recently made a stop at our house too and the kids loved him. I will have to post my pictures of the kids with him....and him with the pies that Mom made for Fathers' Day!

    It is not an easy journey...and it is one that we will be on for the rest of our lives! BUT you can do it...I know you can. Praying for you....because I TOTALLY get it!!!

    Love ya!
