We make our image by the way we treat ourselves, others and in our appearance. Believe it or not, generally overweight people project very different images then physically fit people.

I believe we make our image everyday.

We make our image by the way we treat ourselves, others and in our appearance. Believe it or not, generally overweight people project very different images then physically fit people.

What kind of an image have I created for myself? I like to think it is one of integrity and self-confidence. But my self confidence was not as transparent. I felt shame and embarassement for letting myself go the way I have.

I've had many successes in my life. Both personal and career. I quit smoking 13 years ago and I raised a gorgeous daughter who is now 21. I have worked hard to be successful and to help my daughter in her journey to success. So why have I not been able to lose my extra 50 pounds? Why have I found it so much easier to quit smoking than I have to lose weight? I think maybe I just traded one additiction for another. I think maybe when I quit smoking, I turned to food.

I've had enough! It's time to switch addictions again. Could I possible trade an unhealthy addiction to food for a healthy addiction like exercise?

In the many years of sacrificing and taking care of others, I have neglected myself. Years of not working out and not eating properly have taken it's toll. It's time to turn over a new leaf and balance what is out of balance!

So I started working out. I worked out consistently, but continued with eating poorly and was disappointed with my slow progress.

Then I saw a P90X ad. I don't usually buy from infommercials. But I was curious enough about P90X to order it.

With P90X I started learning about proper portions and eating healthy. Soon, I figured out food was my problem. It still is to a smaller degree, but I continue to learn.

With each workout and with each week, I gain my self-confidence back. We are self-confident when we are treating ourselves good and taking care of ourselves. With each pound I lose and each fiber of muscle I build, I can feel the shame and embarrassement melt away.

As of today, I have lost 20 pounds of shame and embarrassement! I've gone from a hefty size 14 to a size 10. And each day I wake up knowing I can accomplish whatever I want. After my workout of course.
