Taking It Off For Life: My Belt Has Been Blessed By The Pope

My Belt Has Been Blessed By The Pope

I recently discovered that the belt I have been using was blessed by the Pope. I was so excited to see how holy is was. Along with the original holes, it now has 5 more holes in it to accommodate the weight lose. This is an exciting thing. And to share some information that will probably fall under TMI, I desperately need to wear the belt because my pants keep falling down and I can even take them off without unbuttoning them.
Is that exciting or what?

That is really awesome! I was able to shimmy out of my first pair of pants about a month ago and that is such an awesome feeling!

Nope not TMI at all. I am so excited for your new holes. All my pants are that way now even to new ones that I bought 2 months ago. Its like wearing sweat pants with elastic as a waistband (easy on and easy off!) CONGRATS!!!!!

Time For Change

This is not my first time trying this. This will be number 3. Yes, it is number 3. So, you might say, "what is different about this time?". Well, Since I last tried it, I gained 30lbs more. I am now almost 4 lbs lighter than my all time heaviest. It scares me and worries me about my future. With all the health issues I have battled over the years and the potential life threatening issues I could face, I needed to finally decided to live or die.
The time is now and the time is right! It's time to start living.
NO MORE EXCUSES!

SETTING GOALS

Setting goals is important. But goals can also get in the way. We set goals for ourselves and most often, we set them beyond what is realistic at the time. Short term goals are what can make the difference between success and failure. We don't need to step on the scale everyday. It will only lead to being discouraged because we are not seeing what we perserve as progress. I weigh myself once a week on the same day and time. This way, I know I will see progress. Even if that progress is small, it is progress nonetheless! Just one pound or one inch is a success. But don't measure your success by inches or pounds, but by each day you are closer to being a healthier you.
We need to take it one day at a time. Each day is a success and one day closer to becoming who I should be!

My Support

Everyone needs support when taking on such a tremendous task as losing weight. Family is always the best support system we have. And I have it. My wife has been the rock that keeps me grounded and no one can and has given me more support and encouragement through my many attempts at getting healthy.
But, I would be remiss if I did not mention one person who comes in a close second. JANE ANDERSON is not only my health coach, but a dear friend as well. Over the last four years, Jane has seen me go from a great high to a terrible low. She has been there to cheer me on and shake a finger now and then too. But through all the good times, bad times, weight loss and weight gain, she never gave up on me. Jane always supported me no matter how low I got and never made me feel like a failure. Failure was and never is an option with her.
Surround yourself with people who will support you through your entire journey, not just the good times.
