It's been almost a year since I started on the gaining path, which led me to a place I don't want to be - over 200 pounds!
It seemed everything I tried wasn't working, even going back to the basics of measuring and tracking everything. I actually starting writing the blog again to help me get back on track and even that didn't help.
I had to let go and let go I did (with the help of some serious and heartfelt prayer - see this post on how I'm using prayer to help me). I stopped worrying about it and turned my focus to something else. Luckily, I had just started a new job and also picked up a new hobby - knitting, which I wrote about last time.
Well, the scale finally yielded and in about a four week period, I'm down nearly eight pounds. I could tell I was losing long before I stepped on the scale as my clothes were fitting better. Initially, I resisted stepping on the scale and that's okay. We don't have to feel chained to the darn bathroom scale. But today I felt confident and actually wanted to check my progress... and I was pleasantly pleased with the confirmation.
Are you struggling with your weight? I know how awful it can be, but know that you are not alone in this war... I'm here with you and together, we can do it.
So - anyone out there have a new hobby? =)
