Day 12

Well I'm doing well keeping to my WW points plan - it's been sooooo easy! But I need to drink more water and I'm right on schedule with my weight loss goal of losing 2 pounds each week.

Yay!

Plus, yesterday we went hiking and I didn't even get winded! Our new house has stairs and I guess it's helping out with me physically too!

Double yay!

Day 5

Well, I'm on day #5 of my new WW and eating healthy - it's been sooooo easy and I even have points left over at the end of the day! I hope that this time I can stick to it. Losing the weight is the easy part for me. The difficult part is dealing with the emotional funk it puts me in.

When I was abused, I was thin and sexy so I have partially blamed myself for being abused. ( I know now that it had nothing to do with me, that it was scumbags to blame)

But........I tend to start freaking out when the weight starts coming off and I think someone is going to get me. And I start feeling better about my image, and that sets off mental garbage and triggers other memories. (I'm not good enough, I'm dumb, I'm really a loser.....all kinds of crap)

So.........I want to work hard at taking care of myself and putting a stop to the damages that have been done to me - and all the negative feelings. It is time to reclaim MYSELF and truly live.

One little step at a time - I can be successful

We're IN - finally!! ( Now back to Etsy goodies )

Yep - that was the longest 6 months! But we are in our new home and loving it! Now I can get back to making things - I just love to create!

I'll get back to writing about other fabulous shops too, so be sure to check back often - Etsy artists have so much to offer!

I'm going to do a piece on pottery next - I love pottery and have seen so many beautiful pieces on Etsy - come on back and see what I've found!
