Happy Monday everyone - This is a short week for me because I am going out of town (to see my Son) so I am dedicated to starting this week off right. Tonight is Zumba and I am actually thinking of going to bodypump (oh how I have missed you) but I am usually so sore afterwards I am kind of scared but I am so ready to jump back into my routines and get out of this mood I am in.
Since finding out I cannot participate in the Marathon I have been in a rut and I totally know it is my fault and I keep saying I need to get back on that horse and get back into the groove but something in me keeps me from doing that. I think I am letting my insecurities get back into my head and that is not a good thing.
For many years I had a lot of them and over the last 9 months I have been doing so much better but in the last few weeks I have noticed I have fallen back into some of the things I used to do. I do not have a high opinion of myself (not at all) when people give me compliments, as I have stated before, I just don't see it. Yes I have lost 50 lbs yes I am looking better but..........there is still that feeling that I can do so much more. Unfortunately we live in a society that does not like you for you they only see the outside and don't bother to get to know the person inside and that is what I am struggling with right now. I hate when people judge you because of your weight - I try and laugh it off and say they are losing out and I am just fine the way I am but in the end that feeling of doubt creeps back in and there I am again in the same spot I was in 9 months ago. This week I have set my goal to get back on track and put those feelings behind me and know that I am worthy of all of this and just because I am overweight right now it does not make me a second class citizen!

I'm getting back on track this week too!
I remember once someone "yelling" at me after making a post on a weight loss site. The basic post I was going through was how I was the fattest person everywhere that I went...in every group that I was a part of...etc.
This wise woman (who had lost about 200 pounds) told me (and I still struggle to believe it all the time) that my weight does NOT define who I am as a person. It does not make you less of a person...that I needed to stop thinking of myself as the "fat one" and think of myself as a person.
Her comments made a lasting impression on me. She was right and I am working on remembering that!
I try to tell myself I am more than a body but unfortunately society judges us by our size. This is something I am trying to work on. Martine x
T. you must not let these thoughts seep back in again. You are stronger now, and your health demands that you get back on the horse and GO! You are in a little slump right now, but look at going to see K. as a time to laugh and enjoy the success you have accomplished so far. 50lbs Girl that is tremendous! Don't give it up, stay focused. You are a beautiful person inside and out, and your friends and family know you. Put your big girl panties on and seize the day. You can do it,
I have faith in you. Love Ya,
Mary
hey Tam. I know how ya feel, but everyone is right, forget them. You know what a good person you are and it IS their loss not to get to know you. Someone yelled at Wendy last summer because she was wearing pants and a sweatshirt in July, but she had just come from a very cold building. People need to keep their opinions to themselves.
Personally Don is dropping weight and I am stalled out 5 lbs heavier than I was before Christmas. I will NEVER get into bikini shape by May and our trip to Hawaii now!!! (that's a joke, folks...) but I don't care, ok I do care, but i am doing everything possible to lose weight and retain my sanity. we are even going biking every night.
So hang in there, I know it's hard, but you have come too far to quit now! GO MARAH!!
Say hi to the K Man for me :)
Love you, miss you :) Barbs
