here we go again... i have battled the bulge for several years. each time i allowed myself to get further and further in a ditch. 9 years ago, i was over 200 lbs and 5 feet tall- and i felt horrible. i had gone up to a size 18 after being "the little petite" lady the first 28 years. i flipped after being in the hospital on my daughters birthday... and the doctor could not figure out what was wrong with me. i thought i have to fix this. both of my parents died of heart attacks and i was well on my way. i did the scariest thing one could image... I looked in the mirror and saw myself for the first time...without the blinders...naked. i was shocked at what i saw. i saw a wonderful, beautiful woman who was allowing herself to die. that was not how i wanted my life to end.... so the beginning was underway... my diet and my life all need a reversal. so i did what any mom with 4 children, troubled marriage, finacially strapped would do. i prayed. i prayed and i prayed some more. I asked God to help me through all of this and He answered. First He showed me how to correct my diet. It was too much of a strain to work out. I lost 10 pounds and started walking. After 4 months i had lost 25 lbs and started jogging. After 1 year and 1/2, i had lost over 75 lbs by diet and exercise weighing in at 118lbs. i tried out for my local police dept and made it. i couldn't believe it. everything in my life changed-my marriage ended, my financial situation was better, my health was stronger. God showed me that it would take one change to make everything else change. over the last 1 1/2 years, i've slipped again. this time, i allowed work to creep in my space... but once again, i am arming myself and plan to change my world. this time the goal is less (35 lbs) but i plan to make this a final transformation.

And now as I set out again on this journey, I am equipped with support from my family- my lifemate has also joined in on this quest. He and I work out at 5:00 a.m. each morning. We use this time as time together as a couple as well as growing our relationship. I know success is on the horizon and am looking forward to feeling and being the best me I can be.
