LaTonga's Weight Loss Journey

I have a weakness for red velvet cake... It is my absolute favorite. This Christmas I had dinner at my house and of course, I did not get my red velvet cake. After talking to a cousin of mine, I decided that I would go to Duncan doughnuts and buy me one red velvet drizzle doughnut... I believe in occasionally treating myself.. Denying myself is definitely not the answer.

 Today is my first day off for Christmas holidays. I have noticed when I have idle time I often snack. So I am using my alarm on my phone to assist me in planning my meals. If my alarm does not go off, food will not go in my mouth. I know it sounds crazy however it works for me! Head hunger and emotional eating are not going to make me sabotage my new lifestyle! 

Matthew 19:26    states that  But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible .” This past week has been extremely  busy. I really felt like a slice of pie. Everyone wanted a piece of me. My job, my child, my friends, my relationship, my church, ok.. I know you get the point.. every where I looked I had so much to do. I know that with God all things are possible, I looked at my schedule and realized that I was NOT placing myself as a priority. Prior to wls, one area that was my weakness was doing things for me... Placing myself and my needs before others.  I quickly analyzed my time and reevaluated it: 1. Take type to go to the gym( I am paying for a membership , so I might as well use it... Who cares if it is cold, once  you are in the gym... Your body will adjust. 2. Throw away all useless snacks that are in my house. Bring that I was out of school for the Christmas hoilidays, I bought extra items that need to be discarded. Becaus

My treat for today... I do not eat these on a regular basis; however, they are so yummy!!
