Here I Am!!!!

Before and Later Pic

 

I made a promise to myself that I would start my weight loss blog in 2013. So with no further ado here I go. This last year has been an amazing year for my body and mind. For so many years I have declared that no matter what I was going to lose weight and be super fine but that day never came. Finally, the journey started in 2012 with the help of a wonderful group of women. They taught me how to eat correctly and when I had questions they answered or directed me where I needed to go. I will never again say that being in a group or having a partner does not matter. Though I am positive that there is someone that will disagree but for me it was a blessing. They encouraged me to keep pushing even when I was struggling and wanted to quit. Thank you God for those wonderful ladies.

The turning point was when my doctor wanted to put me on cholesterol medication. I was already on medication for my thyroid and my blood pressure. Honestly, looking back on it I didn't give a hoot about what the doctor had to say because I was not taking another pill. That's the day I truly saw the money flow in giving people medication to cover the problem instead of getting rid of the problem. Even when I asked the doctor for alternatives he was no help at all. I said that's ok, doctor know it all. When I came back three months later he was dumbfounded. No cholesterol meds were needed and my blood work looked like a totally different woman. As the months have progressed he is still in awe. I am 70+ pounds lighter and loving it. This is my Journey!!!!
