Weight Loss: My Eye Opening Moment to My Weight Problem

Weight Loss: My Eye Opening Moment to My Weight Problem

Published July 7, 2014

Have you ever been in a situation where you feel you have come to the end of your rope and there is no more rope? Have you ever gotten into a situation where you could not get out of without help? I experienced both the same day at the Missouri State Fair while I was trapped hanging onto a huge farm combine and my eyes were opened to the condition of my body.

Have you ever been in a situation where you feel you have come to the end of your rope and there is no more rope? Have you ever gotten into a situation where you could not get out of without help? I experienced both the same day at the Missouri State Fair while I was trapped hanging onto a huge farm combine and my eyes were opened to the condition of my body.

Several things happened while hanging onto the railing of the combine with the bottom of my shoes stuck on the sharks teeth type step. One of which was why my wise guy hubby was taking pictures of my big rear end hanging down instead of coming to help me? Other things that were going through my mind were:

1. I prayed: Lord, if I am in this shape right now at my age, what will my body and health be like in ten years if I continue down this road?

I saw myself in a sorrier state.

1. I started to ask myself what do you need to get control of your weight and health:
   1. I decided that I had to start to move more
   2. I decided that I had to eat less.
   3. I decided that I had to eat healthier.

That day I got the real eye opener when I stepped onto the scale in the building where they weigh the huge pumpkins and watermelons. I saw the 189.something . Seeing those first three digits my head started to swim and I wanted to cry. I was heavier than I had ever been before and I was scared.

I will have more about this in the future so stay tune!
