Dee Dee's Journey

What is my journey??

My journey is a continuing one. One I started back in 2012. I started blogging at Healing the Heaviness about my weight loss. During that time, I lost 23 lbs. It was slow coming off, but I'm still glad that those extra pounds are gone. I had a really hard time sticking with it, though.

Since then, I gained 5 of those pounds back. I was also diagnosed with LPR. For those of you that don't know what that is, it's basically very bad reflux that damages your vocal cords and trachea. It's not fun, to say the least. Reflux has been something that I've dealt with for a LONG time. Even before my first pregnancy (but very bad during that time).  I didn't really know that it was a big deal until now. I'm trying my best to heal it through good diet.

My main goal for this journey, though, is to continue what I started 2 years ago and lose this weight ONCE AND FOR ALL! I'm still 60 pounds away from my goal. Right now, I'm at 195 lbs. I'd like to be at 135 lbs. I know that it seems like a LONG way to go, but I know, with the help and support of others and by God's grace, that I can accomplish that goal. No matter how long it takes me.

I just really want all of you to keep me accountable again... but in an even bigger way this time. I've made some big changes to my life since blogging and the Lord continues to work on me and in my life. Without Him, I am truly nothing. I just need all of you to encourage me as I go. I may be ridiculed for making this part of my life so public, but I know that it's what I need to keep me and my husband going. (He's doing it WITH me this time!) I want to be able to share with you my struggles, insecurities, victories, and accomplishments. I want to share with you what works and what doesn't. What I support, love, and cherish. I hope you all are with me in this and look forward to what comes next.

Coming soon....What we've implemented already to start losing weight and What plan we're following!
