feedmysoul

I need to find me and in the process look after the me that I want to take into my future.

Reading other peoples journals has inspired me to try one for my own. Perhaps I can lose weight and find the inner me.

It is time to feed my soul not my body.

. : About me : .

Name::michelle
From::victoria, Australia
I am a mother of 3 almost grown children working full time in our own business. I used to also do a lot of voluntary work. I am an ex secondary school teacher. I have been overweight for the past ten years and have reached a stage in my life where I don't want to put up with it anymore. I have been so busy being wife, mother, boss, helper that I seem to have lost myself. Coping with one crisis after another without complaining but always turning to food for comfort. I need to find me and in the process look after the me that I want to take into my future. Reading other peoples journals has inspired me to try one for my own. Perhaps I can lose weight and find the inner me. It is time to feed my soul not my body.

MY MUM AND MOTIVATION

My mum had a fall on Monday and yesterday I arranged for her to go into hospital because she still couldn't manage to walk to the toilet, sit up or lay down without being in really bad pain. She was hysterical and her husband couldn't look after her. After a long day she was moved from one hospital to another. The ambulance could not get her out of the Ambulance because of her weight. I helped her to go to thetoilet an dliterally struggled to lift her to sit or stand up. Today when the nurse showered her she got stuck in the shower seat. Now obviously my mum is a very large woman an dshe is getting larger each month. Apart from how I feel about her being sick/injured again (another day I will explain) I came home thinking "Do I want to end up like that?" So today I started tracking and talking to the fat me about what the future holds if I don't take some control over my lifestyle. Now I have to get through the next few days until my head gets used to allowing me to only eat within my point allowance. Its awful to use my mum smisery as motivation but it has given me quite a shock and wake up call.
Do I want to not be able to move freely?
Do I want the humiliation/problem of people not being able to move me if needed?
Do I want to get stuck in chairs? and so on and so on....
Nightmare material.
