On My Way - December 2015

As I made my way trying products out and making drastic but needed dietary changes, here I stood in front of the mirror not quite sure who I was looking at.  I felt stronger and like I was becoming a great example to my kids.

I began attending the weekly meetings and learned as much as I could.  I went to the once a month training and was blown away by the sheer simplicity of what I had joined.

The conference I attended was what cinched everything for me. So many dots were connected from my mother having started the health journey.

End of December, hot mama!

Making Progress - November 2014

So, I had met this lady in 2012, and brushed her off.  I had been in another company, I didn't have the time or energy to be bothered with building a team and that sort of thing and dealing with unreliable people.

However, we became friends on facebook and her feeds looked a lot like my boyfriend's sister feed.  This company was all up and down their page and the results and that sort of thing Iw ould read and scroll on.

Late one night, as the money had ran out, bills still sat unpaid, the mortgage was backed up, my stress level was up, the kids were feeling my mood, the man was miserable because his job hunt was dead ending constantly - I messaged the lady I met.  We talked at length and I set up to meet her.

I don't know what led me to it. I don't know what made me step off the ledge.  There was a surge in my stomach that was like, oh wow, you can slough this weight off, you can get off the pressure meds.  I was pushed by something I couldn't describe.  I met with her in my filthy pigsty of a house, and then agreed once again to come to her house for another meeting.

This was the result of that meeting at her home.  I tried on a body magic reshaping garment and was in love instantly with the results.  Could this be the turning point in my life?

My birthday was in another month and I was ready to make a serious weight deduction.

Post One

I opened this blog, and never posted.  It is supposed to be the progression from overweight to all svelte and what not.  However, I have been so busy that I haven't been able to work on it the way I want to.

But here we are.  This is me. Last May.  Thinking I was all cute and whatever.  NOT!  This candid shot ended up in the gift shop in the queue of pictures scrolling on the screen.  I was not impressed.  I laughed and smiled, but inside I was horrified.  That 300lb person was unacceptable. I weighed 305 pregnant with my daughter in my ninth month - SEVEN YEARS AGO.  What the hell was my excuse now?  None.

The time came to take a handle on myself and check this mess.  My daughter was expressing growing concern over my stomach's size and my son was embarrassed when his friends pointed out his fat mother.
