So I tried a few different styles of eating- Paleo, vegan, vegetarian-to find one that I was happy with. I wanted a new lifestyle, something that would work for me for the rest of my life.
It wasn't until I was 5 or 6 months into my journey that I started changing the way I ate. After I started changing the way I thought about myself, it changed the way I cared for myself. But I realized that I was going to need help from my body to be able to change my body.
I'd roll my eyes as I said these things and as I jiggled my belly. I literally would stand in front of the mirror and tap my belly and say, "Alright. I started to understand that I had to love myself or I would never be successful losing weight. I wanted to treat myself like I would my best friend.Įven though I didn't like what I saw in the mirror, I was not going to say "you look disgusting" and insult myself anymore. I decided I was going to be more compassionate. It made me think about how hard I'd been on myself. You have to be able to apply that same level of compassion to yourself when healing from emotional trauma. At the seminar someone said, "When someone breaks their leg and they're on crutches, no one says, 'You know what, you just need to throw those crutches down and just start walking.'" Her point was that any reasonable person understands that bone takes time to heal, but so do emotions. I lost about 20 pounds that way.Īround that time I went to a seminar for women who had experienced heartbreak, and came away from it with even more motivation to change my life. And not even to work out, but because it was soothing and helped me feel refreshed. It told me that I really needed to be restored from the inside out. Restoration in progress." And I just thought, "Wow." That was a sign telling me that this journey I was on was not simply about eating right and working out. I sat on a piece of driftwood and glanced behind me at a sign that was posted in front of a protected area of the beach. The day after I moved into my new place I went for a walk along the lake. I moved out of downtown Chicago and close to the water, which has always been soothing to me. I was feeling hopeless in a lot of different ways, and I felt like things were so out of control. I had recently lost my job I was moving I had ended a relationship with the man I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I was going through a lot of different transitions. There was something different about the summer of 2014. Maybe I'm just supposed to be the big girl." But deep down I knew that that's not where I wanted to be-I knew I wanted better for my body. (Want to work out more but don't have the time? Then try Fit in 10, the new workout program from Prevention that only takes 10 minutes a day.)Įventually, you just get used to it. I would just gain the weight back and then some. I've done Weight Watchers, but it never stuck. I was on the grapefruit diet, some kind of rice diet, the lemonade thing. By the time I was in my early 40s, I weighed 246 pounds.

While now I know that I was probably just fine at 142 pounds, back then I thought it was terrible because I was comparing myself to girls who were so much smaller.
And then I got on the scale and saw that I was 142 pounds. I was with a group of friends and someone had a scale. I was always chunky as a kid, but the first time I remember being really conscious of my weight was when I was in college. Now, 2 years later, she's 153 pounds and loving life. But at 41 years old and 246 pounds, she went for a walk and had a realization that changed her life.

However, it is called in the interrupt context. You supply these guys a function pointer, a delay, and up to one parameter, and after the delay the function is called with the parameter. In vxWorks 6.9 you can create timers, which are really just wrappers for a watchdog.
