Today is exactly 4 months until I turn 35. I am ready to have a different kind of life. I have struggled with weight way too long. Last year, after my divorce, I lost close to 60 pounds. I have enjoyed the benefits of that loss, however I haven't lost any in over a year. In fact, I have gained about 10 pounds back. CAN'T DO THAT! Need some motivation to go where I haven't gone before. I am in a size 14 and apparently I have subconsiously decided that I could never be smaller. Why ? When did I decide it was OK to be the bigger girl? I want to enjoy a fit and healthy life...plus teach my children the right way. I weighed 187 this morning...would love to be 135!!!
