Introduction Text ************************* "Well some say life will beat you down Break your heart, steal your crown So I've started out, for God knows where I guess I'll know when I get there I'm learning to fly, around the clouds But what goes up must come down I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing" (Tom Petty) ________________ January 4, 2018 = There is nothing that has ever been consistently harder than losing weight. It never gets easier. I don't know where this attitude to keep trying comes from but thank God for it. My body doesn't cooperate very well but I am trying to love it enough to make some healthy changes that will be better for the body and for my Spirit. I want to feel better, that is the simple reason for wanting to lose weight. Having chronic illness and being this overweight is haaaarrrrd! "Fall down seven times, stand up eight." ********************** "Patience is not the ability to wait, but how you act while you're waiting." ********************* I'm Kelly and this is my journey! There have been many changes in my life since I was last active at SP. In 2014, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and Type 2 diabetes. Since then 'life' has been physically painful for me and I am not in great condition right now but I will be learning to eat healthier to control my blood sugar and for overall health improvements. The harder issue is exercise because that is so much harder when also having chronic pain/illness. I am not new to SP. I first joined in 2006 and was very active for about 2 years and lost 70 lbs. After that, it was a slippery slope and I was in and out of SP until 2013 when my health turned upside down and I left. For about 11 months I had no use of my right arm so being online was nearly impossible. ***************************** If you haven't walked in MY shoes, don't tell me what it feels like.

2019: Simple goal. To weigh less at the end of the year than I started. If I have to pick a goal number, 250 would be ok.

Eat right Use the food tracker Drink Water Cut back on red meat and all soda Eat more veggies and fruits Lower carbs 'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.'
