Shame will get you nowhere

You hear me out there.. SHAME WILL GET YOU NOWHERE!!!!


Don't apologize for being you. Don't ever for one second not think that you are worth it. I have allowed myself to live in shame for the past 27 years and I am sooo over it!


Go out and do something that will make you laugh today.

Make it a good one. Enjoy the holiday season don't put yourself down. Another year is almost over and I don't know about you but I am really looking forward to 2015.


Have a great Thursday everyone.

Tacos

Hello everyone. I had a bit of an episode yesterday. I binged on Tacos and burritos and anything that I could shovel into my mouth. I don't do well with stress, I don't do well with set backs.

But today is a new day and with that comes a new beginning.  I hope that you are all doing well this morning and remember emotional eating is normal and part of life.

Don't allow yourself to feel shame for "falling off the wagon" Because in reality there is no wagon.


Don't let your yesterdays dictate your tomorrow's.


Drink your water , get out and take a walk and enjoy all the people around you that love you.

You are awesome!

The beginning is always the hardest

I am not advocating for "Skinny" or "Thin" I am just tired of being fat. I am tired of feeling tired. My body deserves better. I am giving myself one year to lose 50 lbs. I can do it!

I will give myself until 10/31/15 to get down to 180lbs. This is what I weighed before I started having kids. I miss being able to run without getting winded and I miss being able to get comfortable when lying in bed.

I am doing this for my health. I have spent the last year working on my mental health it is now time to work on my physical health.

Join me. I will be posting recipes and weekly weight ins.... I am nervous but I need you to know whoever is reading this that you are not ALONE!

I struggle daily with doubts, stress, loneliness, and depression.

I never knew that marriage would be so hard, I also never thought that being a mother would be so fulfilling ( but at times draining)

I am tired of trying to keep quiet.. I am not going to be shamed to remain quiet anymore.

Hello My name is Angela and although I am not a size 2 I am beautiful. I am a mother of 4 and a wife. I work full time and barely have enough time to apply makeup in the mornings ( Most days I don't wear makeup)

My life is hectic and I am not always in the greatest mood.


But it's okay.

Here goes nothing.. Day One



I woke up late this morning I could not find the energy to get out of bed. I had stayed up all night with my baby boy who had a fever all night. When I finally dragged myself out of bed.. it was already 6 am I usually start my days at 5 am so you can see that from the get go I was doomed.

When I finally managed to get out of the house. I forgot my lunch and breakfast on kitchen counter..... so needless to say I was hungry and needed food.. I drove to the nearest fast food joint and ordered a small breakfast meal. I could allow the guilt to get to me.. but a girl has to eat... so lesson learned today.

Life gets in the way sometimes... go with it. One meal will not make or destroy your efforts.

Have a great day everyone! and remember you are beautiful and you are worth it!
