I 've been married to a wonderful man for 25 years this C'mas eve and have a beautiful daughter who's eigth years old this years and this year after our vacation for C'mas..... was an eye opening for me to look at the real me....I did it along w/ my daughter. Boy, I did not like what I was looking at, and she said: Mommy would you start taking better care of yourself for me ???? I want you and daddy to live along time and watch me grow up, your heart hurts because you lost your dad when you were young and memaw and papa are old and complain of being tired all the time and their body hurts alot. They are only in their 60's. When I hugged her she said she loved my some much and I mean everything to her.....tears fell and I promised her I'd exactly what she has asked of me. So, I started watching what we eat, excerising, walking and having a day just for me to relax and do whatever I want to do...I FEEL WONDERFUL !!!!!
