Weight loss the continued road we walk

Good day, I hope you have a great start to your day. Today I want to talk about the lifelong battle of weight loss. I think most people are afraid to admit that it's a battle because of the harsh criticism from people. As a former overweight woman, I can only speak from my perspective. Daily I battle with the thoughts of gaining weight again. I still see myself as overweight. I still have fears that it will come back worse. Food addiction is a real thing, however, the root must be addressed. Food was my comfort. Food was my happiness. I could remember when it started as well. Once I got a job at 17 and had my own money I was able to buy what I wanted. That freedom however came with a price. It started to become my safe place when I was sad. When my heart was broken, I ate, if I did well on the job I ate, when I failed my nursing exam I ate, and so on. Sometimes you do need help when it comes to weight loss. Thankful I had that help from my husband. I see a lot of people online say they are helping with tough love by calling it out. Honestly for some that may work and for others that may not. Why not ask the sister if she needs help overcoming something in her life? Why not be patient with her? Yes, sharp rebuke is necessary at times but not all the time. So to my sisters who feel ashamed, who feel embarrassed, who feel ugly or unloved, know that I was you. Know that I love you. Know that I  understand because I was in your shoes. With these same shoes, I will walk with you to a healthier lifestyle. I will NEVER charge you because you matter sister. Freely I was given( to a degree) but freely shall I give you all. You can do it. You will do it because I believe you can. Please if you have any questions or need any help I am here. It's going to take work and self-discipline but you got this. I hope I have provoked thought and know we are on this journey for life🌹🌹

Why Homeschool?

It's 2022 and I am watching the children complete their morning work. I sit here and think back to the years of sacrifice and dedication it took to get us here. Some may say, why homeschool? Isn't it easier to just send them to public school? What about socialization? How will they get into college? These are the various questions that I have heard over the years. I also was concerned about that. What I've come to realize is that children socialize every day when they go to museums, the playground, and other various locations. With homeschooling, you can take control of who your child socializes with, what your child is learning, where they are learning, why your child is learning a said subject, when they are learning it, and lastly how they are learning. The 5 W's of homeschooling 😉. Is homeschooling easy? No, it's not, however with the right support and putting Yah first,(more on that later) then ALL things will work out. There are days when you may want to give up, cry in a corner somewhere or just yell. You can do TWO of the three. Just do not give up because you and your family will benefit from the sacrifice that BOTH Daddy and Mommy made(more on that later). I hope I provoked some thought and know that it is possible to do. With faith, love, compassion, and support. Peace Ladies. Have a great day❤🌹
