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.

LEARNING TO ACCEPT MY LOOKS AND MY BODY

Sometime ago 2 people tagged me and I have never completed it. WHY?
Because I don't think I could think of anything that I like about my body. I don't have great eyes, or great hair and I definitely do not have a great body. I am short and round and flabby and fat!
I looked at myself this morning, when I was dressed. I can see that I look better than when I started this journey in January, but I am still fat and all of me still hangs or sticks out where it shouldn't. Although I am pleased with myself for sticking with my plan for self improvement I think deep down inside I don't really believe it will happen. I think I will always be short, round and fat and saggy!!!
I am also old, well older than many, and maybe that is why it feels so hopeless.
Why didn't I do this years ago?? 3 Years ago I lost 20 k but it only stayed off for a couple of weeks and then came straight back on. I guess that is something I am afraid of. I will lose it and then revert to my old bad ways. Anyway that picture is me. I am a

blonde piggy

(not even blonde any more either because I keep dying it trying to make myself look better.) I need to accept myself. That is my mission. I need to like me and my body. I am more than the fat person that other people see. Sure this will be helped if I keep losing weight but I know I will never be gorgeous, thin, unsaggy or young. There will always be things about myself that aren't what I would wish for.
That is going to be OK. I will like myself better and I will look after my body so that it can stay as young as possible for as long as possible.
