Yep, that's right I'm back to writing this blog. It was three years and five months ago when I started this blog under the name "See Me Now... Watch My Later." Well, my later didn't come fast enough, I had many ups and downs and true to my history - I gave up on my weight loss journey and the desire to keep this blog going.And as if that wasn't enough, since my last post in June 2013, I underwent even more heart break with the lost of really close friends, a really tough emotional battle in my professional career which caused my confidence to take several blows and all of this ended with me being at my heaviest weight of 275 pounds.
But you know me, I refuse to let my story end in defeat. Now, I'm living in a new city, enjoying a new job, having a blast with the addition of some new friends God has placed in my life, and I'm more focused on really becoming a better me. In addition to the new city, new job, and additional friends, one thing that really made a difference in my life is really living my truth in God. No longer focused on being a people pleaser, but a God pleaser.
I spent years turning a deaf ear to what God was instructing me to do. And in the end, it had an effect on me emotionally, mentally and physically, which led me to food - my comfort & temporary fix. It wasn't until I stopped running and moved fully into the obedience of God that my eyes opened up to living a life of truth and contentment in God.
Well, it's my first post back and I don't want it to be super long, just wanted to let you know I'm back. And I know a lot of you are wondering about the new name and some of you don't like "Fattie On the Run." It's okay! Stay tuned for my next post where I'll explain my new name.
Until then, follow my journey on Instagram at... you guessed it @Fattieontherun.
Be You & Live Your Truth in God,
LaWanda
P.S. While you're waiting on my next post, please take time to view my old posts under the former name.
