I have been very hesitant to right another blog post and even attempt to continue this journey. Warning, this is not my usual cheery, positive Christ-centered post.
I have been hesitant because I am not doing well. I am stuck. I haven't lost anymore nor gained anymore muscle. Thankfully I haven't gained though either. My weight is stuck as well as my attitude. As each month of living on food storage (frozen, powedered, processed) and struggling financially continues this goal gets harder. You could say the challenges of the last two years of life are really weighing me down. I know this is common for many people who are trying to lose weight and get fit, life gets in the way and they get stuck. Excuse or not, life is hard. Well the only thing more I can think of to do in my stuckness, is to reach out to you, be accountable for my less then stellar actions, continue to try and ask for you support. I'm hoping the spring weather helps the exercise and mood part of the equation. I'm hoping to have the financial issues resolved by the end of the summer which will help the nutrition aspect of this equation. However, I only have 120 days to make my goal happen. Which I don't think is enough time. I guess on a positive note, I will be 40 for a whole year so if I still hit my goal before I turned 41 it will be a success. I'm not giving up.
So this is what I'm asking: Normally I am the one giving the advice and being the coach, but today I want you to comment and give me some of my advice back or other insights that you have.
Thanks for your help.
I also decided to post ,as humiliating as this is, so if you are in a similar situation you will know it's not easy for everyone else but you. Also if you have never been through a struggle with weight you will realize and have compassion for those who struggle with this issue. Sometimes it's not just about making good choices but having the means to make the choices you want to make.
Thanks for reading and being there for me today.
