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 FRIEND BRI

First of all my apologies for not blogging much this week. I have just been so busy and my time near a computer has been limited.
Had a week with lots of exercise which was good and fairly good eating.
Then I went to Newcastle and had a wonderful time with Bri and her family. She has the most beautiful son with whom I fell instantly in love, (brought out the mother in me) A big highlight for me was hearing him say my name. He is going to be a little heart breaker when he grows up. But there will be lots of magic moments before then and I am confidant that I will get to witness some of them. Briony is a wonderful mother who dotes on her son and she is raising him with lots of love and patience.

Bri and I were of course both nervous to be meeting in person and I was feeling very honoured that she was opening her home to me. We needn't have worried because we clicked just as well in person as we had been on the internet. We walked, we talked, we laughed and yes we even sat quietly together reading papers. There was no arteface between us and no need for either one to entertain the other. I am now confidant that I have found a friend for life and feel truly blessed to be able to call such a special person my friend. The strange thing is that I thought I had reached a stage in life where I would not make new friends but just look what this journey and this blogging world has brought into my life? Briony and I will be planning more get togethers and will continue to support each other in our journey to a better life.

On the first night we took opurselves out to dinner and enjoyed a lovely guilt free meal. When it came to dessert (which I was determined to have ) I of course chose the healthy option of apple. Very good wasn't I??

But I suppose in the interests of honesty I should mention the fact that it came covered with crumble, custard and a delicious caramel sauce. It was also enormous!!! How could I have known that just because it was called Caramel Apple Crumble that it wasn't just a healthy apple???

Anyway I did my best not to offend the chef while Bri, who had resisted temptation, laughed at my noble attempts. Needless to say I needed to walk it off the next day...and in honesty probably every day this week.
