It's
time I start blogging for real again. and writing out affirmations and
working out my mental game! that has been so lacking!
My boyfriend and I were talking and came to this conclusion, "it's too easy to get wrapped up in
the crisis of the day and lose touch with the big picture."
I have
felt this way since I came back from traveling to Washington.
Work started to overwhelm me those first few weeks back from that trip. I
got burnt out real quick. Even though I'm not working as much as I did
those few weeks, I do get drug down on occasion when work is slow, which
is depressing for me when i feel I'm not making enough money to support
myself, let alone help with the kids. and then I get so tired when I
do work more hours. ugh! It's like I've been in a kind of survivor mode
in that regards which translates into my physical well being. The
constant up and down with having the kids for such a short time I do
feel like I miss out on a lot of my kids life. that alone, for me, is
depressing. such an emotional roller coaster! ugh. The sad drawbacks of divorce with kids still at home.
keys... more drive and focus to retake your former self....focus forward...
ok..here's an affirmation we can repeat, based on what we've been sharing.
'With
Drive and Focus I am retaking my former self. I Focus Forward knowing
each day I am taking myself closer to my goal of having a fit body.'
'When I focus forward and have more drive I reclaim my former fit self'
When we talk about what we do want, it will be drawn closer to us. we will have it.

Fighter Diet Butt Bible Challenge - Official entry
My name is Suzette. I am 45 years old,
divorced, mom of 4 kids, who were big babies being born, two being over
10 lbs each. Over the course of 10 years having four kids I gained over
90 lbs. In 2006 I went on a weight loss journey and lost 90 lbs. going
from nearly 250 lbs down to 148 lbs. I maintained my weight near
155-160 lbs for over 5 years minus a
short time I went up to 175 lbs when my gall bladder stopped functioning
and everything I ate made me bloat. After having my gall bladder
removed in 2010 I dropped my weight back down to 155 and maintained it
until last year April when I started putting the weight back on. I had
dreams of having a photo shoot done but I let some life issues distract
me and am now up to 170 lbs.
One of the reasons I want to do this challenge is to be a better example for my 4 kids, who are all obese/overweight. When they were much younger when I was at my heaviest, I feel I was part of teaching them poor nutrition habits that has carried over into their teen years. They don't remember me being overweight, but the poor habits have stuck. I want to show them the positives of discipline, determination and commitment to reach their goals and dreams in life especially as they are entering their college years. I have been failing in those areas over the past year and I want to regain the confidence in myself that those things bring. I want to know I CAN do anything I set my mind to do.
Another reason is that I have had a dream of doing a photo shoot and I believe the accountability and support of the group will be a tremendous help.

Mother's Day
Some days I feel the need and longing to come here and write. To come here and share my hearts words. But as soon as I get here to write the words flee me. There was a time when I could come here and the words would just flow from my heart and mind.
My weight loss journey was documented here. and I would open up my heart to those who would find their way here. Writing in the past has been a way for me to express my heart in words. I found a way of discovering my inner being and growing through the process of writing my heart.
Life is full of its challenges and struggles. I've come to know and learn that challenges and struggles will always be there. We will never be free of them. Life will never be easy. Accept it! And ask myself What is the lesson in this? How can I be a better person because of it?
It was Mother's Day today(May 10, 2015). The past few weeks I've really come to realize how much I love my kids. As a mom you know you love your kids. But when scary things happen and you don't know what or how it will turn out you realize how much love you have for your kids. Yesterday and a couple of weeks ago two separate things happened that opened my heart to the love I have for my kids. The fear of not knowing where your kids are or if they are ok makes a momma's heart race and fear the worst. The thought of something happening to one of my babies can be heart wrenching. My daughter will be graduating high school in about 2 weeks and my heart is not ready. Will it ever be?
