Redefining Myself

So I have not done such a good job at keeping up this blog but i am gong to make a commitment to journal my wieght loss and also add some pictures along the way.. maybe some before and afters.. that should be fun and embrassing:) As of the last week of April I have lost 30lbs. This is not alot of weight in three months but somthing I think I can maintain and make into a lifestyle change becauese my focus is not just to lose weight but to make a change in behavior and attitude towards food. This month I strive to eat more fruits and veggies and to subsitute processed snacks. I also want to try some new recipes from one of my favortie websites.As I try them I will post a review and recipe along with some photos of the dish... Anyone wanting to lose wieght, please follow along with me in actions and prayer and together we can Turn North

Made to Crave

I will tell you that this journey was not an easy one to start and every day is a battle. Food is my addiction, I think about it all the time, every waking moment, happy tought, sad thought, when I am angry or upset, or just bored. I don't remember when it started but has always been present with me and has grown to a monster out of control. So here I am knowing that I need to change for my health but also for my family. I currently weight 343 pounds* sigh*. I did not want to share that but feel if this blog is going to be helpful for someone else, it must be honest and truthful. I have been over 300lbs since the birth of my daugher, four years ago and is continuing to climb. So this year is my year to overcome. My inspiration came from a book called "Made to Crave", written by Lysa Terkeurst. It has changed my life and way of thinking about lots of things, for me it makes it about being accountable not making excuses and really facing reality. So I leave you wit
