This time is for keeps!

Hi. My name is Tracy. I'm a 42 year old mother of three and I have been gaining weight steadily for the last 20 years. I have used food for everything from comfort to celebration. I have also been living a very sedentary lifestyle. I want to make a lasting change in my life and it has just really hit me how much of an exercise in patience this journey will be. I realize that a healthy lifestyle is a skill to be practised daily and it is not about perfection. I have tried so many things and failed so many times that I have lost faith in myself and so have my loved ones. I believe that motivation will come from doing and succeeding. I look forward to giving and receiving support in this journey. I look forward to "meeting" you and appreciate any support and advice offered.

Sounds a lot like my story... only I waited longer and gained more!

This time, though... I've stuck with it longer than anything I've ever tried before, and had more success. I haven't been this weight in a decade!

I finally let it sink into my brain that there's no quick fix and this is a lifelong plan. And I'm ok with that! :-)

Good for you (and your children) for being here! Welcome, and God bless your efforts.

I am back after, in my infinite wisdom, rapidly packing back on over 20 pounds. I need to stay accountable! This site is very helpful with that. Good Luck!
