Epiphany!

Wow!! It has been a long time since I posted anything! And a lot has happened! Well, really one BIG thing!! We moved. To Florida. Away from my daughter and son-in-law. Away from my friends. Away from my church. Away from my gym. Away.

It really has been a great move for Dave. It has been a good move for me. Sort of. We have been here for two and a half months. I don't know how much weight I've gained since moving, but I know it's a lot. I've been deluding myself, but my pants are really tight. REALLY tight. I should probably get a size larger, but if I do that, then I'm admitting I've got a problem.

Okay, so in the shower just now, the tears began to flow, and I admitted, out loud, "I've got a problem!!". As I'm letting the water stream down with the tears, I also realized that this is something only I can do. Yes, it wonderful to have the support of friends (who are 300miles away), BUT it is just that...support. They are not doing this, I am!! I am the ONLY one who can make MY journey!! So, even though I don't have my motivation here with me, I am the one who has to stop putting the food in my mouth, and I am the one who has to get up off my ass and start moving. I am the one out of control, and I am the only one who can take back that control!

I know there is a Weight Watcher meeting tonight, and I will BE there!! I will go to the gym tomorrow, and DO SOMETHING!!!! This needs to be my wake-up call, and I NEED to wake-up!! Please send your prayers of strength and encouragement, cause I know it will take a huge amount of will to do this, and by God's grace I pray that I can once again get back on my right path and continue my journey.
