Peeke Blog

Well, here I am on this beautiful planet breathing air.  I have the fortunate opportunity to be in this challenge.  Yet, I have chosen all the wrong things to eat and do ( or not do-exercise)during this third week of the challenge.  Due to a stressful family event, I let myself goooooo.  A mix of feelings have overcome me this week.  I wanted to be strong for my family and became weak in the process.  It is hard for me to admit to my short comings but I believe we make mistakes in life to learn from them.

So, what is the lesson to be learned???? Dr.Peeke could answer this most effectively.  Here is what I think:  Life is full of stressful situations.  We, or I can not let my guard down.  I need to be vigilant in controlling what I consume.  Food, historically, is my "opium/drug of choice".  I need food to fuel my body not to use food as a medicating device.  Each day is a new day.  I will forgive myself.  Maybe next time, a family crisis happens, I will call someone in my support group.  Maybe that would of helped.

A little part of me also is a little scared of getting under 200pounds.  Don't get me wrong, I want it but I'm a little nervous.  I shared this with Dr. Peeke.  I said, "I'm scared of losing weight."  She suggested I state, "I'm scared of getting fit."  Yes, that sounds a little ridiculous,,,"scared of getting fit".  So, I need my support group  this week.  I need to focus on Tina again and GET TO IT!!!
