Angel's Quest #1 - The Decision to Try Again (Weight Loss)


Hi, I'm Angel. This has been my blog for over 3 years. I feel like I need to introduce myself because I've been away in so many ways for so long now. I'm scared for my life and somehow God has helped me to start caring again. So, here I go.

I'm Angel. I'm a wife and mom and I've been morbidly obese more than half my life. I've decided to fight for my life and my health again. No matter my struggles, I know in my heart I can't continue to neglect my health because then I won't be around to experience all the blessings my life offers. I'm saying goodbye to past failures and focusing on the new day and new hope God has given me. 2010 is the year I want to turn things around and with God's help, I will. Thank you for your support!

  2. Hi Angel,

    You mentioned failure at the beginning of your video. Remember that failure is just one of the stepping stones on the way to success. It's never too late to start and try again. Kudos to you. I share the journey with you. I, also, am still obese-started out morbidly obese, and have struggled with this since I was pregnant with my daughter 19 years ago. Pre-diabetes, borderline high blood pressure, knee pain, arthritis,and many other ailments have plagued me.
    I am making slow progress on my journey and have had ups and downs along the way. I just keep getting restarted. Two things that have helped me are: a very loving nutritionist I am able to see every couple of months to help me stay on/ or get back on track and getting together with other people who are attempting a raw food life style at least monthly, sometimes on a weekly basis, when possible. I am about 90% raw today(for the past 80 days, that is-as I said, I've had my ups and downs over the past two years). Green smoothies and staying away from processed white flour and sugar have gone a long way in lifting my spirits and giving me hope. I still enjoy my raw desserts ;) Welcome back Angel.
    I know God will be with you and bless you on your personal journey, whatever form that takes for you.

  3. Hi Angel!
    I'm with you! You're not alone. I'd also given up last year. Funny how yesterday I also started my blog again. I worked out for the first time in months yesterday.
    I'm frustrated and embarrassed that I'm doing this again. I can't let this get any worse.
    God Bless!

  4. I'm in the frustrated & embarrassed club too. Can't believe we're still here, still struggling, still not close to the finish line yet. I'm here for you, and I'm cheering you on, praying for you, and I'm still right beside you on this journey. Love ya sistah!!!

    Hi Angel,

    How did January go? I am thinking that since you haven't updated your blog that it didn't go well. If that is the case, please don't beat yourself up about it. Baby steps... Every SAD meal you replace with a mega nutritious (hopefully raw meal) is a step in the right direction.

    Please let us know how you are doing, k?

    Take care, Christine
