I wanted to re-start up my blog. Not that I have much time to contribute to it but because we have been making changes in our family. We started so many years ago, very slowly. Jeremiah and I wanted to make sure that these changes stuck and we did it because we wanted to get healthy and to loss weight.
However, why stop there? I started looking for cleaning alternatives so that I could get chemicals out of the house for us all. It started with just for the kids but after all of the research that I did, it had to be for us all. Then in the mist of all of these changes I was introduced to essential oils. The Ferrari of essential oils then I became an Young Living Essential Oils Independent Distributor. This was after I got involved with another company that I really did not research enough (was not an essential oils company).
Since my last post about accountability, I have had a hard time with cutting my portion size when eating. I love food is the problem but I realized that even though I love food I don't have to eat it all or like a enough for a man. However, today after a long few months I have met my first goal! I'm down 50 lbs. I thought it would feel different. I'm of course very happy that I have lost this weight, please don't get me wrong.
I think it is because we had a long weekend, my van broke down in town (going to cost me 400 for the part and however much to get the part programed), then we went to disc golf league. So I'm tired. So the good news, even if you are food addict you can change the way you eat and loss weight. I feel that I eat enough to be satisfied, I'm not starving. Then when I feel that I am, I stop myself and say "do you really need this?", there hasn't been a time when I did need it. I had to teach myself what it felt like to be satisfied before I got to the point of being over full. I had to change what I was putting in my body.
For me I need vegetables and protein. I'm diabetic. Well let me change that I'm pre-diabetic (my AC1 is 5.5) and I have been able to come off of my meds a little. I have only had to take 1/2 a pill in the last week. That is because I found out that I can't eat white pasta. What I can and can not have has been eye opening.
So how did I do it, I had help from my husband. He helped me change my way of thinking about food and how full I really am. It helped me stop over eating. I also started using my Young Living Essential oils. Ever glass of water I drink I put a drop of 4 of grapefruit in it. I drink water all day! If you have questions please ask and I will keep posting and sharing! Thanks for everyone's support!
