OVER WEIGHT!!! I dont usually put my personal business on Facebook, but Im making an exception today. A little over a month ago, I was experiencing ups and downs with my emotions over my gaining 46lbs over the last 2 years. My problem WAS using FOOD as a comfort mechanism for myself when I would get upset, bored, or for entertainment. I would experience a temporary numbness, then after eating excessively, the issue was still there, and an additional issue was on its way (more weight). I visited my doctor and discovered that I weighed more than Ive ever weighed before in my life. Well, Ive done the quick fixes and they worked for a while then I was back to the weight I had before or even more. I am trying something that Ive never done before... And thats change of diet and exercise. Ive seen it work for others and celebrated their success in their life change. I saw my dr. about 2 weeks ago, and she informed me that I had lost 10lbs! I still have a ways to go, but the main thing that Im learning to develop if a lifestyle change, and dedication to exercise. My reason for posting this is that I know there are others out there just like me, and I have great encouragers in my house my husband Darrell Hagler, and my Son Darius Martin! My Sister Gladys Wright always encouraged me! But I want to encourage someone too! About 3 weeks ago, I spoke with Gloria Taylor, and no matter how many times Ive come to her with this issue, she has been ENCOURAGING, she could have shunned me, but she always believed in me. One of my problems has been if I didnt feel or see results quick enough, I would get discouraged and resort back to my old ways, but Gloria told me to give myself at least 60 days to start seeing results. Im on week 3. I remember telling her that I could only do 8 mins on my elliptical and was about to die! now Im up to 25 mins, and Im learning to keep pushing harder! To the people here on Facebook: Gloria Taylor,Virginia Hill White Kevin Harris, Lan Cee, Larry Evans, Kim Rutley, Lakeisha Lanier Martin keep posting yours posts, I promise there are people being helped by it. I am. #helperstooneanother
