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.

EXERCISE AND SCRAPPING

Went to to step class today and it was even harder than I remembered. Having a couple of weeks break is not advisable. Step count today 16755..yeh!!!!!!!. Also ate within points so have to be pleased with that.
Just returned from a scrap booking class with E. Now I know that scrapbooking is for very young or very old people or in the words of my friend " for dags". But I went anyway, admittedly a bit unsure of whether I wanted to be there and actually enjoyed myself. E and I are now hooked and will be starting this new hobby. Not sure when I will find the time but I am sure it will be good for reducing stress levels.

Still extremely busy at work and on top of that have a very stressful evening tomorrow having to deal with a family problem. Have been dreading it all week as it developed from one bad scene to another. This time I vow not to let it send me on a self-destructive path of not caring and then falling off the wagon.(my usual way of dealing with this person) This issue is one of my main triggers and I am going to be confident and trust in myself to handle it properly. We will be eating out at a pub so it will be tempting but I am going to plan for success and eat sensibly.
I know that " I cannot direct the wind (and it will be very windy) but I can adjust the sails." Then I will not sink as I have in the past but simply sail through the storm and come out to find the sunshine on the other side....
Have a good day everyone.
