I need something new to be addicted to!!
I have a very addictive personality, so I need to be careful with what I set my sights on. I didn't (& I don't) want the past to repeat!
I had always been the "skinny" one in my family. And I loved it, I won't lie. I wore it like a badge of honor. And back in the day I walked around like being overweight was just something that "happened" to other people, but not me.
No need to change anything - I was one of the lucky ones. I could eat my Reeses and my junk food, and I just WAS a skinny person.
HAHA - joke was on me!
I ended up unhappy, unfulfilled, guilt-ridden, ashamed, depressed & obese. I clocked in at 280lbs. How in the hell did I get here?
Well, here's how: I was constantly living in the negative. Nothing was good. And none of it was in my control. It all happened TO me. I was a victim of my circumstances. At least that's how it felt. That's what I told myself. It just was. Nothing I could do about it.
In reality, when I stopped with the bu****it "poor me" stories running rampant in my brain, I was able to pin point exactly what got me there: Lots of bad decisions and trying to run from the results & reality of those bad decisions.
There was no "I don't know what happened". There was no waking up and all of a sudden I was in that bad place. I got there because of one bad decision at a time, and one bite at a time! This is not rocket science! I did it to myself. It was me. I was the problem.
And so I knew I could also be my own damn solution!
Part 1 of 3...stay tuned!
