Becoming the Woman God created me to be
Thats me on the left in the brown shirt, and no, I'm not pregnant I just have a big belly. My name is Sam, and Im a child of God, a wife, a mom, a daughter, a friend, a sister, a niece, an aunty, a grandchild and a CNA. I have alot of hats I wear during the week, but being a healthy role model isnt one of them. Sure I've tried the fad diets and lost 30 pounds, then gained it, then lost it and here it is all back again. I'm very much so an emotional eater. I'm a happy girl, and my husband makes me happy, and when I'm happy I want to eat, like celebrating our day with a stop at the ice cream shop, or having movie time with little ceasers pizza, mmm!! But I would down half a large pizza with my husband, and he wouldn't flinch at all, he'd be eating the other half right along with me. He's always told me he would love me even if I weighed 500 lbs! So I've never had to worry about keeping up with my body for him. Which is great I'm a lucky girl, but seeing the scale go up on a daily basis isnt okay, and its not how God wants me to treat this only body hes given me. I've always tried to do my best to keep veggies and fruit on hand, but I find myself going to the quick fix snacks for my kids like fruit snacks and crackers. I dont see anything wrong with those snacks, but not all the time. Im not saying that Im going to go completally crazy and rid my kids of all the stuff they love, but I am going to be making a strong effort to give myself and my family unprocessed, healthy foods. Im going to start making meals and snacks from natural ingredients. If theres something in the ingrediant label I don't know or can't pronounce, then its not going in my grocery chart. This is going to be a slow process transitioning, but its going to be for the better. But if there is a special occasion and the kids want to stop to grab an ice cream then thats great, but we just wont make a weekly habbit of it. So here I am to keep in touch with everyone along the journey to let you know how it works, what dosnt work, and how to relieve my temptations of wanting to stuff a whole bag of Reeses minis into my mouth!
