I’m a Healthy Living Blogger with a Secret… I got fat again. Let me just say that again… I’m a healthy living blogger with a secret… I got fat again. As I type out those words, I am overcome with a multitude of emotions. I feel sad that I let myself slip so far. I feel empowered that I am about to undergo a massive change and get back to a life full of health and wellness. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders because my secret is out. I feel excited at the thought that this post may help someone going through the same thing. But mostly, I feel exposed and free to be my authentic self and share my story with others without fear, or insecurity. I am ready! I think people struggle with being candid and letting their secrets out because they feel like if they do, they are giving their power away. Life shouldn’t be a power struggle. I will gladly give all of my “power” away if this post helps even one person.

Followed by the long emotional summary of her journey...worth reading if you have to "come back" as so many of us have done, and so many times.

This is Week 1 of my 52 week journey to lose 100 lbs. Did you read my “coming clean” post? I’m a Healthy Living Blogger with a Secret… I got Fat Again. After writing that post, the spirit of togetherness that I felt, was something I thought no longer existed in present day society. I was deeply touched by the flood of messages, comments, emails, phone calls and texts. It sort of blew my mind actually. It made me incredibly happy that I was able to touch so many people with my story. But, it also made me sad knowing how many people felt defeated and utterly alone. Well, I am here to tell you that we are all in this together.

Followed by her exercise routine and food, she will post weekly. Personally I question her throwing herself back into a strenuous exercise regimen at her weight, but Cross-Fit meant a lot to her in the past. [if interested, Listen to Dr. Hallberg's approach to exercise at beginning of a weight loss journey at the 20 minute mark..it is none to start, and when the client is ready to exercise, then a maximum of 5 minutes a day! for the typical overweight patient in her clinic with joint pains and diabetes. http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/...orefront/25218]
