Well this weekend was packed full and I think I did pretty well. I have just recently quit smoking after 12 years and I do ok during the week because work keeps me so busy I don’t have time to think about it, but the weekends are hard. So this weekend I was taking six of my friends kids (with my best friend and her boyfriend) to the rodeo. I was worried one because of all the yummie food and two because six kids and no smoking…yikes!! But it went well. I didn’t even have so much as a soda and the kids were SO great. I had such a blast. Makes me realize even more how much I want kids and these changes are even more worth it so some day I have a better chance of having my own. Maybe not six, but a couple…lol!!

I am already loving the people on this site. I have received words of encouragement from complete strangers and that means the world to me. I love hearing others success stories and challenges because it motivates me and is comforting to know I am not alone. I can’t wait to see what this year holds. I am sick of being called the pretty fat girl, or the oh you would be so beautiful. I can’t wait until I FEEL pretty and FEEL beautiful. You all don’t know how great and special you all are. Keep everything up - I know we are all worth it and can all do this. Hugs from North Carolina and I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Hello everyone!

Well today’s the day. I am done with spending hundreds of dollars on diet plans that don’t work for me and time to do this the old fashioned way by changing my life style to something that works for me. I am looking forward to getting to know people, get and give encouragement and maybe even making some new friends by sharing our battles and successes. I want my life back. I used to love hiking and camping and all the outdoor things. Now I am so embarassed of my weight that I don’t do them. Not anymore. I will need encouragement along the way from people who can understand the struggles that come along with weight loss. Can’t wait to share my journey with you all!
