Slow Down 2014

Sorry I have not updated She Eats Truth or anything else for that matter. Wasn't it just two weeks until Christmas?!?! I did great my first week losing 10lbs and 8.95inches!!! and then... we had a last minute visit from some out of town family who stayed with us and I am not that strong! Back in full force today only gaining 5lbs of that back. I have been working on some posts to keep me motivated. Here are some pictures of our family visiting from WA.

DIY Weekend

B and I did a little DIY this last weekend. I have been wanting to make one of these to chart Bryson's growth so we finally had the time and it turned out great. I am oooh 95% perfectionist so the lines took me some time. I can't wait to use this for a photo pro too!

Merry Christmas From My Little Helper

She Eats Truth

My heart is heavy, My time is now, I know what works for ME.

This is my journey of struggles, grace, compassion & forgiveness.

I've struggled with weight gain, weight lose, repeat for so long now its hard to remember the last time I had that feeling of acceptance and feeling alive. In the early stages it never seemed like a struggle but more so filling a void of some kind and just plain boredom eating. She Eats Truth is an ongoing blog post for myself about my personal struggles with food addictions, inner self battles but most of all the love and grace for who I am along the way. Its time to start telling myself the truth.

"Every Diet works, if it fail its because I allowed it to."

I gave myself a time. A time that I just let myself be, except my body for the gift it just gave, be kind to my stretch marks, love my curves and most of all not to worry about me but focus on my Son and his needs for the first year of his life and just really embrace this time. I told myself when Bryson turns one my time is just that, my time. Not the greatest timing around the Holidays but I know if I get through this there is no excuses. Besides there will always be more Holiday fest and this is a promise I made to myself a year ago. I feel like my struggle with food is 50% boredom eating, 30% addicting and 20% its just plain GOOD! I want to drop some lb's to get healthy, I want to be my old self physically and enjoy feeling healthy and more alive. I get stuck in a rut of carbs and junk food. Enough is enough. I know what works for me but I also now what doesn't. This time around I want to try something different. That's were this blog post comes in. I've tried a handful of diets in the past and guess what? They all worked! Yup, Worked. The problem.... Me. Once I was down to a comfortable weight I give in to the 50% boredom eating. This go around the only difference is telling myself the truth about how I feel and except if I fail and need to start over. I want to keep posting about it so I can give myself grace and forgiveness along the way and have support to look back on. I also know when I start this journey I need a jump start diet. I'll fill you guys in on what that is later. The only thing standing in my way is my mouth, mind, boredom eating and all that AMAZING God giving food. Yum... Like I said, I will give myself grace in this process because the only way through this journey is truth, love and forgiveness.
