Confronting Monday and revealing my biggest
fear… wow this morning feels like quite the whammy. But I built this space of mine to say what I
want to, a place for me to babble on about chapstick addictions, shopping
dreams and TV bingeing… and sometimes to even say the hard stuff.
I have the usual fears, like dying, snakes,
spiders crawling into my mouth at night and laying eggs in my cheek. Those
scare the crap out of me. But after putting some actual thought into it and
being honest with myself, I need to come to terms with something pretty serious
that scares me.
I am terrified that I will never lose the
extra weight I carry around every day and that my health will deteriorate even
further. Something is stopping me from waking up and changing, stopping
me from choosing to eat a salad over fries and gravy, choosing a long walk over
Netflix TV. I drink glasses of wine to wash down McCain's Chocolate Deep &
Delicious cake all the while knowing that I have a serious muffin top already
in my "fat" jeans. I now wear leggings a lot not because it’s Fall
but because nothing else fits. I am also having major issues with my lower
back and I'm about 99.99% sure it's a weight issue. I am literally sacrificing
my body and health for fried foods and TV.
How is it possible that I recognize this and
yet - still keep living the way I'm living??
How am I supposed to get pregnant and have a
healthy pregnancy like this?
If I’m really
honest another fear I have buried is that I will never be a mother.
I am going on a vacation with my husband in
less than three weeks and even though I hate myself every time I look in a
mirror I am not doing anything about it.
When do I hit rock bottom and start to
change?
