Welcome to New Creation
Hi, my name is Melanie and this is the story of my weight loss journey. I created this site as a means of motivation and accountability. I am currently using the Weight Watchers Winning Points program at home.
I've tried many weight loss programs in the past: Weight Watchers, TOPS, Richard Simmons, counting calories, counting carbs. I even tried a nurse-supervised weight loss program of 600 calories a day (Bad news!). I lost weight with each attempt but would stop awhile into the program usually because I was hungry all the time or bored or impatient. I've made "incentive posters" to hang on the wall, planned "goal reward" trips and bought "goal sized" clothing as motivation. I've read countless books and magazine articles on weight loss. I sit glued to the T.V. during those weight loss infomercials that promise quick results. I wished for, dreamed of, and planned for that "goal number" when everything would be perfect.
Sound familiar?
If you are visiting this site and recognize yourself in all this - then rest assured - you are not alone in this. I have struggled with weight issues most of my life. I'm at at the point of my life now that my goal is not a "Victoria's Secret" body but just a healthy one. The years of overweight have taken a toll on my body. As I write this in August of 2003 - I am carrying around 100 extra pounds, have recently been diagnosed with Type II diabetes and experience ankle swelling, painful hip and knee joints.
So, once again, I try. But this time, I am enlisting a personal weight coach!
His name is Jesus!
He created me so He certainly knows how to fix me!
In many ways, this site is already a success story...because I haven't quit. You only fail if you stop trying.
Thank you for joining me in my journey today. I hope you visit often and check up with me. And, please, drop me a line if you have any comments or suggestions. I'd love to hear from you!
