2016

So, I am heavier than I have ever been, other than my last pregnancy.  I'm pretty depressed about it, and it can make it feel impossible to change.  Not just the depression about it, but also the fact that I have failed so many times when I have started to try and get healthier.  The fact is, that I'm facing the rest of my life.  I have to get myself under control, or my weight could keep climbing.

So...what to do?  I know the basics.  I need to eat less, and exercise more.  But above all, I need to be consistent.  And that is really hard.  It is so easy to find excuses about why things are too hard for me.  But.  I've got to do this.

I want to be healthy.  I want to look better in my clothes and without them.  But mostly, I want to prove to myself that I can do something hard.  I can take control of my life.

The problem is that I am too proud to ask for help.  I need help from my Heavenly Father.  That is who I need to turn to first.
