hi everyone!!

my name's alicia. i've been on MFP before... then fell off the wagon... but now i'm back.... i'm currently at my heaviest, and i've recognized that i need to be here. whereas my reasons for losing weight 14 mts ago were to look better, now my top reason for losing weight is to be HEALTHY. (although.. looking good is a close second!) i want to be comfortably active, i want to eat better, i want to feel less sleepy, i want my skin to look better, i want to ache less... the list goes on!!!

yet,i'm trying to remember that i can't put off LIVING until all this stuff becomes a reality..... as cheesy as it sounds, weight loss truly is a JOURNEY..... it's not going to happen overnight (as awesome as that would be!)... it happens while our LIVES keep moving forward... so i'm trying to stay positive throughout the journey; the weightloss is a goal/bonus/ultimate gift for living healthily i suppose!
xoxoxoxo all the best on YOUR journeys !!
please FRIEND ME if you want another friend to motivate and to be motivated by!!!! :D

    lol hey girl! I just came back too- i have "fallen off" a few times & I have finally gotten to a place where I am able to be more patient about my results- I dont want to get frustrated after 2 weeks and then give up this time.... good luck & lets get to it!

    Wow That really hit me hard... I took a year off from school while all my friends went away to college and now it's about time for me to start school and I'm nowhere near where I want to be.... but I have to keep living.
