huge rant
I just have to complain and get it off my chest my motivations are mostly negative. When I am trying to motivate myself to exercise I don’t think about my health, happiness or being a good example for my children.

Adjusting Mental Body Image
Okay, so I've been overweight most of my adult life, and after being a plus-sized person for almost 25 years, I'm having trouble adapting to my new smaller body.

My anniversary present
My fourth wedding anniversary is coming up on April 20th. Of course, just like last year about this time, I was determined to lose weight before that date.
