Today I start a new journey. One that will take me to places I have not been in a long time, the one that will call on the old me and the new me to become one in the same. I have been overweight for to many years and it is time for me to take control of me, what I eat what I do and who I want to be.
Being thinner may not make me more popular, may not get me a new job, may not make me happier. Being thinner will help me live longer, healthier and give the opportunity to make more friends, grow the confidence in me to do what I want or need to do and in turn help me to be happier.
I will do this with a smile on my face and an open heart. Willing to learn from others how to have a healthy life style. I eat foods that help the body and not ones that inflame it. I forgive myself if there is a day that I slip, jump back on the scale and try again.
I am glad that my friend Marinda invited me to join a competition, how does that girl always know when I need a kick in the pants.
Today I start my journey.
Girl... you can do this! I love that you are taking the Journey route rather then thinking of this as a diet. I believe this journey will be a life long thing and we can either fight it or go along with it. If we fight we just remain miserable... if we go with it the worst that can happen is have to spend money on new clothing... Can't wait to see you transform!
