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.

CARPET BE GONE!!!

What a fun few days this has been. Kept trying to dry the floor so endless rounds of washing and drying of towels. But after emptying room last night the people came this morning and took the carpet away. Think it may be replaced with new carpet. The skirting is lifting and some of the furniture is damaged and ..my favourite brown suede boots. The furniture is now in the lounge room and my bed is all alone with blowers going for a few days to try to dry out the concrete.
On the exercise front I did 18000+ steps yesterday. Went to an aerobics class which was again an incredible workout. I went this morning and did my weights program again. So I am meeting all my challenge $ this week except for the dinner out on Sat. I am pleased with that.
In emptying the bedroom I was forced to come face to face with more of my "fat " clothes. I think they have been breeding in the back of the closet. I went through them and tried to hang on to many things. Such beautiful jackets...sigh..but Ebony told me mum "lose doesn't just mean lose weight it means lose the fat clothes too." In some cases as I continued trying on this morning she was very blunt.."mum too big AND ugly..throw it out." I have kept a few items for sentimental reasons. Of course I responded with "what if I put the weight back on?" Her answer "Well if you keep those clothes that just makes it easier to put it back on." Oh the wise words of one so young. Thing is when I looked at these clothes hanging on me like sacks..I cannot remember that I was that big and I think I am still big now...who was I fooling for all those years hiding under gorgeous clothes that were almost tents.
