End Binge Eating Newsletter

Hello friends!

It’s been a while since I’ve sent out anything and I want to apologize for that.  It’s been a pretty crazy past couple of months for me.  As some of you may know, I had to temporarily move to New Hampshire due to a family emergency in my boyfriend’s family.  We were there for a total of 9 months. 

In June, we bought a place in The Woodlands, TX, but we had to wait for it to be finished being built before we could move in.  It felt like our lives were on a complete standstill for 9 months.  I’m not going to lie; it was tough.  It challenged us in all aspects of our lives, but we preserved and made it through. 

In October, we made the journey back down to Houston, Texas.  We knew that this meant that we would be able to release the pause button that had been on our lives for the past 9 months.  When we first got here, we decided to paint the walls.  Boy, was that a project!  We had no idea what we were getting in to.  Needless to say, we finished the painting (by hiring it out) and then we had to tackle the next step, which was unpacking. 

Now we are completely settled in, I’m ready to start really diving in with all of you to help you out in whatever way you need.  I would love to get conference calls started.  I also want to do live video broadcasts with all of you.  I want to hear your stories of things that have been a success or a problem for you.  I am so ready!!

With everything that has happened, I have been put to the test.  I have been in very stressful situations where it would be so comforting to turn to food.  In no word of a lie, it was very hard.  I just felt lost in every way.  While I didn’t binge, I didn’t eat very well.  Where we lived it was so easy to just call up and have pizza delivered.  It was such a small town that that was really the only place to call. 

It didn’t help that I didn’t feel like exercising.  I would go in spurts.  At times, I would run twice a day (which was so difficult due to the massive hills that this Texas girl was not used to!).  I would do exercise videos and sweat up a storm.  Other days, I wouldn’t want to do anything.  I succumbed to my situation and let all of my motivation go out of the window.  I am not proud of this, but the lesson I learned is that it’s important to know that no one is perfect and that even in the toughest times you should never lose focus of your goals.

Everyone needs focus.  Your focus is what will help you in tough situations.  It’s your focus that will keep you motivated to stay on track and not become a victim to your life or your situation.  When you are focused, nothing can stand in your way because you have sight of the bigger picture and will always continue to work towards that. 

If only I didn’t lose sight of my goals.  I wish that I didn’t fall victim to my situation and that I would have been strong enough to push through and really stay focused.  But, I didn’t. 

Now that we are back in Houston, I’m getting back to my “old” self (and I mean that in a good way).  I am exercising again and really ready to submerge myself into helping myself and everyone again.  

I know that this isn’t a typical newsletter from me.  I felt it necessary to fill you in on what has been going on so that you don’t think that I abandoned you.  I am here and I am ready to help in any way that I can.

I want success stories from all of you!  Let’s stay focused and really help each other out.

I believe in you!
