Another update

I just thought I'd update you all again on what's going on in my life. I'm on day 20 off sugar & carbs. It is getting a little easier. I have lost 16.5 pounds so far. I am definately starting to have different thoughts about food.

I have been keeping a weightloss blog for a while now but I haven't had the guts to tell anyone the link. I decided that if it could maybe help someone or If any of you are interested in reading my weightloss blog, comment & I'll send you the link. I also would love the support and encouragement. I can moan and groan & whine about my struggles as much as I want on there. I just need that out sometimes.

I think taking food away as my #1 thought & priority has made me want to do more with my life. I don't look forward to food anymore so I'd like to have new things to look forward to. I think this is the reason that I am seriously thinking about going back to college. It isn't set in stone yet but it is something I'd really like to do. Kaleb is going to be in school in August and I'd like to do something beside sit around and play on facebook. Hahaha

I'm so happy that I have gone this far. I am actually suprised everyday that I make it. I just go one day at a time. With my weightloss, I completely stopped believing in myself but now I know I can do this. If I can do this, than anyone can!!!

Amazing! 16.5lbs in 20 days? That is so great Aleisha. I'm proud of you. I too would like to go back to school. Only, Avery won't be attending kindergarten this year. I go back and forth but I keep thinking 11 years have gone by in married life already, I could've been a practicing MD by now! I just need to do it! Maybe you and I could be homework buddies! :) Anyway, keep up the good work, you are awesome!
