Regaining My Focus…

Hello Folks!

Me, again!! Remember me? I haven’t written in an awful long time and yes, I’m still struggling with the battle of the bulge. Holiday time is especially hard for me. I have had a LOT of work functions, vendors sending food baskets, holiday parties…ugh, the list goes on! I call myself trying to have some type of restraint, but the food is so good. Plus, when you are in a social atmosphere, you just find yourself chatting it up and stuffing food in your mouth!

It all started around Thanksgiving… eating at my parents’ home in NC and for the first time in 2 years I did not cook the entire Thanksgiving dinner. Down south, they do it big… all kinds of fatty foods with all the dressing…and desserts galore!

Among that was the stress of dating the man I had been dating. Sometimes you think the past is familiar and people change… but sometimes it is hard for people to change. I can’t say that people don’t… I did. He didn’t. I changed my ways from not caring about my health and being overweight to doing something about it. It took strong will and determination…drive. For people to change, that is what’s needed. To remain successful, you have to keep supportive & driven people around you. He wasn’t.

With that said… my relationship has ended but I feel good about it. I thought it would tear me up on the inside. I was wrong. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. I found my love again… working out and the gym. I have slowly but surely started to regain my focus. Love it there, even made some really great friends there at the gym… it’s a social outlet for me as well and what’s even better is that we share a common goal. So, with my good friends…I’m not alone.
