Am I Really Doing This?
The last thing I thought I'd be doing this morning is starting my own Blog. I've read diet blogs off and on for years gleaning wonderful help and support from others. I guess I'm hoping I can give back in some way. I'm 42 yrs old, a mother of 4, married to my children's father, cub master, soccer coach, Sunday school teacher, and all around nice gal. Am I perfect? Far from it. I can be extremely judgmental. This is something I'm working on.
I'd like to say this blog will be about my weight loss journey, but it won't be. There's so much more to my life that will sneak in. Which explains my need for weight loss and maintenance.....there's so much more to my life.
History......raised in a tiny (less than 1,000 people) WI town by an alcoholic father and a co-dependant mother, who thought everyone should be able to have television lives. TV daughters are skinny and beautiful I was not skinny. We bought my clothes in the boy's husky section of JC Penney's, "because there's no need to buy expensive girl clothes when they don't look good on you anyway." Of course I'm your typical unloved as a child so I've had some pretty rough patches as an adult trying to raise myself. Luckily I was 29 before having my first child or there would be another generation of screwed up people floating around....
I've been thin for most of my adult life. By eating very little and exercising a lot. Three years ago , my then 10 yr old daughter, started talking about needing to be on a diet, like mom. What an aha moment. I surely didn't want her hating herself and putting herself through the things I had put myself through. My life and my attitude had to change and it has....
I now have a good relationship with my mother. I can't say I don't blame her, but I have forgiven her. I eat healthy and exercise normally. My daughter is beautiful and knows it. SO why am I starting a blog? Because, everyone who has battled any of my battles....overeating, drinking til drunk, eating til nearly puking, having sex just to be close to someone, knows this is a battle we fight every day. To love ourselves and to create a New Day....
