I must be honest with you I never thougth of you as a success. Especially since you lost and gained so many times, I myself go through the same thing and I weigh around 275 pounds and as much as 300. I don't look as myself as successful so certainly not you.<BR/>Not until I began to read this blog and if this is really you writing it well I have to tell you my whole opinion has changed.<BR/>You have some attitude and you are a survivor.

I used to live on Cold Dark Past Road too - City of Victims - State of Pity Pot! I had to finally move out of there... I'm sure you noticed that living there too many years really runs a person down! Rough place I tell you! GET OUT NOW WHILE YOU CAN!<BR/><BR/>I do have some things I can share with you that comes from a lady who who's speaking to you straight from the heart... Not everyone may agree with all I say, but I'll tell you these things that have worked for me and are still working, maybe they will help you too... by the way... I made my way out of the 400's and I am past the half-way mark of making my way out of the 300's now... so we have that in common too... so pull up a chair and sit down a bit <I>:::c'mere, patting seat:::</I> let's talk!...<BR/><BR/>All the love, care and dedication I have given to others over the years has made me wonder why on earth haven't I given any of that to ME!... Was I waiting for someone else to do it? Was MY happiness and health going to be dependent upon what some OTHER person says, does or thinks? I don't know that I still have a perfect answer to those questions and more... but I do know one thing FOR SURE and that it was SO WRONG not to treat myself like I treated my loved ones and others in general! I count! I matter! I am worthy to lose weight and be healthy, happy and live a long life! I am worthy of being pampered and to have fun in my life! I am worthy to love and BE LOVED! I am worthy of success! Please start saying these things to yourself Doris... PLEASE... say it EVERY DAY when you wake up and before you go to bed... even if you cry and choke on the words... each day you'll find it easier and the words will come out stronger and eventually those words will manifest into some positive form! ALL the things that haunt you from the past you MUST begin to realize are NOTHING that can hurt you now unless YOU let them! Those ghosts need to be put to rest permanently and focus MUST be directed permanently on the HERE & NOW... TODAY! Yesterday is gone, used up, and can't be undone. You can do anything you freaking feel like doing TODAY! SO DO IT! Make it positive! Even if it's just for a few hours, that's a good start! Start soothing and healing your pains and scars with all that you love and care about. Surround yourself with the goodness that exists NOW.<BR/><BR/>I started working on raising my spirit first... I felt if my spirit was soaring the physical body would follow... so I now play all my favorite music that I stopped listening to while shoulder shaking and moving anything else that felt the beat - haha! ... I went for a massage here and there because it relaxes the body, mind AND spirit... long soothing baths with candles that smell so good! Very uplifting! My fav scent is Yankee Candles Egyptian Cotton... tried doing a little craft work with beading that I had also stopped doing... and I found that meditation is really super cool and I just love what that does to me both inside and out! Deep breathing exercises are really refreshing too! These things may not be your thing to do, but you get the picture and can replace any of these things with all that you love to do.<BR/><BR/>I invested in a juicer and have been juicing once a day, usually between lunch & dinner time... the combination of veggies and fruits is a real energizer! I make sure I take a great combination of liquid vitamins too in the morning... I prefer liquid because they absorb into the system better and quicker and without losing as much potency as I do in pill form... <BR/><BR/>I went to my doctor and told him I need his help... I have aches and pains and swelling all over due to this excess weight and I wanted aqua therapy to help me get the ball rolling in becoming more physically active... he prescribed it for me 3 X's a week (I'm starting in June) and I know that in itself is going to help drop A LOT of weight! At the suggestion of a close dear friend I also now wear a pedometer that records the entire weeks steps for me... so each day I look back at the day before and try my best to beat the number from the day before even if it's only by 1 step! If you're sedentary a lot then please start taking note of the time and every 45-60 minutes get up and stretch, bend, shake your legs and arms, stand on your toes and reach for the sky for at least 5-10 minutes, take a little walk around the house, office or wherever you are.<BR/><BR/>Keep yourself busy with positive and constructive things. You'll eat so much less.<BR/><BR/>Well these are some of the things I've done and are doing... I sure hope that this helps in some small way... I bet tothers will give their helpful hints adn you'll have a great list of things to start from... Good luck to you Doris! You can do this! Big hugs to you!<BR/><BR/>In peace, love & light...
