The Biggest Loser League

My Confession:

Not very talkative this last week or so.  I haven't been on for awhile.  I was actually trying to stay away because of how I was doing.  I have been struggling to continue on.  The last week or so, I have been hanging on to the back of the "wagon" with all my might.  My mind has drifted from where I would like to be.  I find it easy to just say - forget it and why bother.  But I know in my heart that I need this -for me, for my husband and my 2 beautiful daughters.  If I can't take care of myself how are my girls going to know how to take care of themselves.  I still find that I am not as "strong" as I think I say I am and opt for the easy way out.  I am not one for "stepping" out of my comfort zone when things get tough.  I know that when you do step out from that comfortable spot that the rewards are endless.  But with anything change happens and I need to accept it.  Today I am renewing my attitude to get my act back together and do this for ME and for those that depend on me.  I know that God only gives me the things that I can handle.  And I will handle it with the grace of God.  Have a blessed Day!!!!

This is a new week for me.  Last week was very stressful for me.  When I am stressed I look to food for the answers.  Of course when I do that - I don't get the answers that I was really looking for.  So then the guilt sets in because my heart knew better but my head would not listen.  Since I turned away from where I needed to go - I gained a pound this week.  Yes it was a gain but I still have lost overall.   Everytime I come back to this site I see and feel the encouragement from everyone.  I also get reassued that it is ok to have failed and that we are all in this together.  To hear that others struggle (not that I want them to) feels like you are not alone and it is just as hard to someone else as it is too you.  You can look to that person to find ways to succeed and work through it together.  Thank you to all of this team for your support and encouragement.  I hope all of you have a great week.  Keep up the good work and staying strong.  Sandie

Ok - so I took the portion distortion quiz.  I didn't do as well as I thought.  At first I got the first 2 questions correct and then it was down hill from there.  I realize that I need to really watch the portion size of everything I eat daily.  If not, those portions will slowly get bigger over time.  Thanks for that challenge - way to keep us focused.
