Family & Friends
Recruiting help from family & friends to reach 180 is what I have been up to this week. My husband (Mo) and I together have come up with this goal. Once I reach this goal we have agreed to start the adoption process for a child we both can love. The only thing standing in the way of having this is my weight. I have been sharing my goal with family & friends and have been receiving positive remarks like keep the exercise up, I'm proud of you, and so on.
Why didn't I do this sooner? The answer to this I can honestly say is fear. I didn't want people to know how much I weigh, and I was afraid to ask for help. Thinking I could do it all on my own only lead to failure. In the beginning of this journey I mentioned I didn't want to be afraid to live and making this public is one way to face my fear. Telling friends and family are baby steps that I am taking forward on this journey with them now at my side cheering me on I will be sure to reach 180.
This summer I discovered how good watermelon is and how much I enjoy it. Every time I come home with one Mo just rolls his eyes and utters another one. I know the season will soon be coming to an end soon and until then watermelon will continue to be in my refrigerator. One of the ways I like it is to simply cube the watermelon up and add some fresh chopped mint and refrigerate till cold. It's so yummy and the best part is you don't have to feel guilty about eating it and it's even better when you share it with friends & family.
Here are the latest results:
Weight: 280.8
BMI: 44.0
30 Day Challenge: 23 down 7 to go
The upcoming week I will be facing another hurdle which I will be sure to share. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to clear this hurdle with as much success as I did the family reunion.
