Graduation...challenges...and the fight to persevere

So...once again...it's been a while!! I apologize for that. I just forget to blog like I should..I really am going to try and work on that...but I can't make any promises.. :) So anyways...there have been a few things that have gone on since the last time I updated...SO I am going to attempt to get ya'll caught up without writing a novel... :)

First off On Tuesday, May 4th, I officially became a college graduate..I obtained my AA from NFCC and am so thankful that God saw me through and allowed me this opportunity. It was a great night and I am thankful I'm done with school for a lil while.

So that week of my graduation was tough for my weightloss journey...I was unable to go to the gym a few days that week and my diet was hard to follow due to certain circumstances...by the weekend I was feeling down and discouraged!! I was tired of eating the same foods over and over again...I was tired of having to think about what I was going to eat 24/7..every meal I have to think about..I have to plan out...I got to the point to where I just wanted to not think about what I was eating..I just wanted to go in the kitchen and find something I liked to eat and eat it. It was really weighing heavy on my Saturday. I felt like instead of walking tall and conquering this mountain that seemed at one time impossible...like I had been doing...I felt like I was crawling...barely moving along...with no strength or energy to get through the day. It was a hard day for me. I was reminded by my partner that I have mentioned several times on here...that I have come so far and should be thankful that God has allowed me to get this far. And I was thankful...I am thankful...I just knew I needed a new vision...a renewed mind and a new drive to finish strong!! I have 40 to 50 pounds left to go...and while at times that seems so far away...I know that it is within my reach...I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...there are days when I still feel like the fat girl that is in the background...and I feel like I haven't lost a single pound...but I am reminded of just how far I have come and how I never thought I would ever come this far or that I would ever be this close to being in a normal weight range...and yet..here I am..having lost almost 80 pounds and God has given me a new vision...I new drive...and for that I am thankful!!!


So This week...I am setting out to step it up..to really work hard and to fight for what I know I have to do!!

So this is my update for now...I am going to try and update again before to much time passes.... :)

Thanks for supporting me ya'll,
