Today I told my mom about this journey that I am embarking on . She told me that my weight is holding me back. I have so much potential and I'm unable to live up to that. I need this. But I can't do it on my own. I need a support team and accountability partners. I need...workout buddies, food supervisors, a therapist, my family and friends to be on board and for everyone to help me stay accountable. My life is really worth it. I have this one life to live and I need to live it to the fullest.
The hardest things is to ask for help from piers and people that I look up to. But just because it's hard doesn't mean that it cant be done. This week I'm dedicating to building a firm foundation. I'm going to be talking to a bunch of people to get them on board. I'm going to be getting my blood drawn and meeting with a doctor to see where my body is at. I'm going to be meeting with a therapist about my emotional attachments to food. I'm going to be talking to each of my family members(immediate family only) about what I'm going to be doing. I'm going to be talking to some friends about being my pushers. People who push me to the gym and make me eat right. and push that donut out of my hand. Also a shopping buddy who can help make sure I'm getting only what's on my list. So HELP WANTED! and this is my base week where I find all the help I can get.
The hardest thing to do is to take the initial step, and you have done that! It is so easy to ignore issues or problems, but when your finally face them, it makes people really grow and become the person they want to be. If you need anything at all, let me know! I love you and and praying for you as you tackle this hard life change. I know exactly what you are going through! :-) Love you!
ReplyDeleteEmily you are in such a great place for this journey; surrounded by people that aren't afraid of struggles and encouraging you on to success. Good for you in recognizing your beauty and pursuing a healthy life to go with it.
ReplyDeleteEmily,
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! I'm so proud of you for starting like this and for getting some accountability. I'm working on it too and it's easier when others are helping. :)
