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.

SOME GOALS FOR THIS WEEK

1. Not resort to comfort eating
2. Not gain weight
3. Do something constructive during this enforced rest, maybe scrapbooking.
4. Start an upper body weights program as soon as my hand is better.
5. Attend a motivational session that has been booked with Craig Harper even if I have to climb up the stairs on my bum.
6. Not get depressed with all the things I am missing out on. eg today Australian Open Tennis tickets, an annual event with my sister.

Have booked an appointment with a physio tomorrow so hope that will help. E and I are going to try to get me in pool for a swim later. It is 39 here so too hot to stay out of pool.
So far have eaten perfectly. Must say it helps that so much effort is required to get to pantry! Also can't drive so can't go to shops for chocolate or take away. Trying to stay positive and focused.
My sons Gf has covered phones for me at work as she is on afternoon shift with her own job. Tonight some work will be sent home for me to do here as it is payroll day tomorrow. Dh can cover office tomorrow (whether he wants to or not)and hopefully I can get a lift there Thursday or Friday and will be able to navigate staircase to get some real work done. I need to find out that I can cope with the access to the offices before everyone leaves to work interstate on Sun.
I guess as long as I am making progress each day then I can stay focused.
On Sun everyone leaves to work interstate so I need to know I can use stairs to cope next week.
