On June 11, 2008, I started a weight loss journey. I weighed 225 lbs & I was miserable. I went on to lose 92 lbs & I've kept it off for 26 months now.
The journey is about so much more that losing weight, though. I have been an avid blogger on the Medifast website I'm affiliated with, but now I want to branch out to new venues. Blogspot is my first attempt at doing so.
In my upcoming blogs, I will talk about weight loss, emotional struggles, maintenance,,,,,,everything involved with the journey at hand. I will post a daily motivational reading from For Today, an Overeaters Anonymous *OA* publication, along with my comments to follow. I will stay committed to blogging for one year: 365 For Today readings. Although I used Medifast to lose the weight, my entire journey has been OA based & that's the perspective I'm going to focus on here at Blogspot.
If a person doesn't change his outlook on life, he will not make the internal changes necessary to lose weight & keep it off. He will stay stuck in the cycle of yo yo dieting, as I have done, for years & years. I have only been able to change internally through the teachings of OA & the 12 Steps. If I blog every day, I can stay on track & perhaps motivate someone else to stay on track.
And ain't that what Life is all about? Giving back.
Together, we can travel the road to good Emotional, Spiritual & Physical health. We can learn from one another as we share our experience, strength & hope. One day at a time, we can do ANYTHING!
