God is with me, helping me!
Hi.. nice to meet you! :) Here's a little bit about me:
I decided to change this up a bit. When I first joined SP, I had this huge long rant right here about how I'm sick of certain things that go hand-in-hand with being overweight. Kind of whiny. I've changed SO MUCH since starting this journey.
It really is "me" that chooses how I am viewed, how I view myself, and where my life goes. Whatever you think, you shall become. I am in the passenger seat of my life and am ...

It really is "me" that chooses how I am viewed, how I view myself, and where my life goes. Whatever you think, you shall become. I am in the passenger seat of my life and am on this weight loss journey with the best driver and best friend a girl could ever have: my Father; the Lord above!

I am on a good path with my eating and workouts, I could be doing much better, but I'm focused on making my personal and mental life better as well, since that'll dramatically change my entire life, body included. I'm here to write blogs to get my feelings out and hopefully help me with all the issues I have. And to communicate with people in this community that understand what I'm going through. Social anxiety is a big one. I usually am afraid to write things the general public will see, but I'm forcing myself this time.
I struggle with seasonal depression (SAD) and tend to disappear and be really unsocial in the Jan-April months, but I'm trying my HARDEST to overcome it this year. Pray for me, please! :)
Hopefully I'll make some new friends along the way as well!

My Goals:
I want to give God the glory, completely. I'm working on the pride thing. I have a lot of personal issues to overcome as well. I want my body to be in the shape God would want it to be, the shape He meant for it to be.
My Program:
Right now I'm doing cardio 4-5x per week, strength training 2x per week.
I've finally QUIT drinking ALL "aspartame" and artificial sweeteners..yay! Trying to stay far away. I was a diet soda ADDICT after being a regular soda addict for YEARS, so if I can do it, you can!
I drink at least 9 cups of water per day.
I'm trying to make healthy decisions in restaurants and to eat smaller portions.
I'm trying to eat healthier overall, more fruits and veggies; less greasy, fried foods.
I'm trying to eat more organic foods and healthy, natural foods. I'm adding them in slowly.
I'm trying to blog more and take a photo per day, to help myself with my social anxiety and to help myself live life one day at a time and explore my creative side more.
Personal Information:
I'm really improving on what I wrote here in December, so starting over... I am 23 years old. I love God. I live in a cold "Winter" state near the Canadian border. I dislike it very much so. I am a typical girlie girl. I love anything that glitters or that is squishy (in a good squish way). My fiance compares me to the littlest girl on Despicable Me (as far as my personality goes) and it's the best way to explain me without writing 300 paragraphs.
I am trying my hardest to live life in a positive light, to control my anger & approval issues and to control my emotional eating, for good.
I have social anxiety and SAD, I also have ADHD and OCD. I'm dealing with these issues day-to-day. I'm trying to CONTROL myself, period. I was a binge and emotional eater my entire life.
I'm trying to deal with grief problems and isolation & abandonment problems too. Read my older blogs for more info. I can do it! Baby steps!
Other Information:
"Reshaping It All" by Candace Cameron-Bure and "A Place of Yes" by Bethenny Frankel are on my top "must read" list!
