Me vs. Me
A battle of self-control and reconditioning
I started Weight-Watchers, again
This starts week 4
2 years ago, to the day -
I became a lifetime member for meeting and maintaining my goal weight.
I was the mother of a 8month old and 2year old.
I was exercising 3 times a week regularly one to two hours at a time
I was working 4-times a month, auditing
I was betrayed, hurt by the one who is supposed to love me the most
Outwardly beautiful, toned and thin - I questioned why and I gave up
Inside self-esteem bruised and broken
Forgiveness
Healing
Time
Pregnancy
Miscarriage
Time
Healing
Today the mother of a 2 1/2 year old and a 4 year old
Exercising sporadically at best
Working 2-nights a week at the hospital, auditing 2 times a month
Supported and in love with the one who loves me the most on this earth
Trusting in the ONE who truly loves me the most
Outwardly striving to be healthy, and an example for my kids
Inside realizing self-esteem is much more than how I look
TRUTH - Food is for my survival and nutrition, nothing more
I have lost 6.7 pounds
An honest reflection of me- in fragments. Imperfect- Grace Covered. Balance. Mom. Wife.
Nurse. Homeschool Teacher. Christ follower first. Second changes. Thankful.

Go Jamie!
For me, food and emotions are SO very intertwined.
Food and my emotions are pretty tangled up, and twisted together, but this is a reminder for myself to keep going :) and how it should be.
