It's been almost three weeks since I've posted my last post and it's because I found myself in a little funk. Why? After celebrating my 30 pound weight loss, my doctor called to let me know that I was still in the pre-diabetic range. Talking about knocking the air out of my sail. And on top of that, I found myself in an emotional funk dealing with relationships in my life.
For two weeks, I found myself in a state of HUGE disappointment. While I know that the process to becoming a healthier me wasn't going to be easy, I wasn't expecting to hear those words. Even as I shared my results with those closest to me, I received mass words of encouragement. From family, co-workers, friends, and associates, everyone was pushing me to keep going, don't lose hope, practice what I had just posted and use B.S. (breath then smile).
Moment of transparency: I couldn't make myself do it! I knew what I needed to do and what I shouldn't have done; however, I became my own road block. Eating things that I shouldn't have. Not keeping up with my workout routine (I haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks).
The result: I gained back 4 pounds of the weight I loss.
What now? Now, I stop acting like a baby and get back on the pathway to a healthier me. Now I reverse the damage I've done and continue on to losing my next 10 pounds and NOW, I STOP BEING MY OWN ROAD BLOCK!
To everyone who has pushed and encourage me, believe me it has not been in vain. I know that I must become strict on myself in order to beat this thing. I refuse to become a prisoner to diabetes and I refuse to become a prisoner to self-doubt and fear.
I WILL OVERCOME THIS ROAD BLOCK IN MY LIFE AND IN 30 DAYS BE A LIGHTER ME.
I'm not giving up on myself so I'm asking all of you, Don't Give Up On Me!!
