Well Hello!

myturn92014

I am going to do this. I keep saying that and haven't done it yet but I am quite serious. I AM GOING to DO THIS.
This entire summer has been a series of false starts. I could look at that as failure or as the beginning of triumph. I have decided to see it as the beginning of triumph. As long as I keep restarting, trying again, looking for why it didn't work, etc. I am allowed to do that. However, I also need to actually start being successful!

I have tried the hype diets. Some of them have worked for me in the past but they aren't liveable. I end up where I started or (shudder) worse. So, I need a way of life. Low Carb has some excellent benefits -- but I can't do it as a way of life. Several years ago I was looking at the whole general common sense - watch caloric intake, ease up on fat, nutrient dense foods, etc. I lost about 11pounds in six months. It was heartbreaking and awful.

If I had kept it up I would currently weigh less than I did in high school.... So, my biggest challenge will be embracing the whole "you didn't put in on overnight and it isn't going to come off that way" reality. I believe that I am ready.

I am ready to be in control.
I am ready to be healthy.
I am ready to do things that will extend my life.
I am ready to do things that will give me more energy.
I am ready to reach my goals.

It's my turn.

And I am happy to be here.

Please friend me. I could use the support.
