I'm in it for the rest of my life!

Hi, unfortunately for me, I'm not new to the weight loss battle. I'm 38 and work in the health care field and it was my physician who turned to me and said about my weight, "you should know better!", and he was right, I do know better. I am well aware of what obesity does and right then and there, I decided to make the change for good. I started Dec 2, 2008 and have lost 16 lbs so far, I've found this site and I will continue to lose and be in better shape for my family and for my health.

It feels soooo good to get the weight off. Playing with my boys (3 and 6) is much easier and much more fun (we just came in from building snowmen)! I look forward to enjoying being active again and being an inspiration to others! The journey begins with small steps.

A friend asked me yesterday how long I planned to stick to this "diet" and I told her that I planned to do it for the rest of my life one day at a time.

One of the rules I made for myself was to eat only the food I planned to eat. I won't accept food offered by others even if it's "just a taste" and I won't urge others to eat something just because I like it.

I'm ready to feel better and live by my rules, not somebody else's.
