It has been a long time

Attitude is Everything... BE HAPPY

Well I am still alive and kickin'. I know it has been a long time since I blogged but I wanted to put a few thoughts down.
If you read my other blog... www.thesipefamilyblog.blogspot.com you know what is going on in the other aspect of my life. It is hard and sad and seems so wrong. Well my personal life affects my health so I am taking precautions to help keep me strong and keeping focused on the light at the end of the tunnel. The light seems bleak and dim at times but I know that it is there. If I keep my eye on it I will succeed. I have no doubt.
There are many studies that I have read about withdrawl and recovery from prescription drugs and street drugs. Women in particular have a naturally higher body fat % than men. The rate of women who relapse seems to be higher than men. After much reading and studying I have found that many studies say that any type of drug stores in our fat cells. That would make since why women have a harder and more difficult time in detoxing off of any type of substance.

By focusing our minds and staying in a positive energy it really helps.

Since the divorce drama I have gained 20 pounds. People say " Oh Alyssa don't worry you look great". I probably do but it sure doesn't feel good. Any extra weight hurts my joints. I don't want to carry around a 20 pound sack of potatoes. Why do that when I can do something about it.
So I am dedicated and determined to loose the weight naturally and healthy. I have a lot I want to improve in myself. Taking care of myself will be extremely important for my future. I want to be healthy all around. Why not cleanse myself for real and start fresh. Hell I did it with prescription pain killers and have been successful.
I am 5 days in and will update soon :-)
