Amor

I decided to join up in an effort for me to slim down and tone up.
I'm tired of people telling me I look "fine" because I don't feel it inside. I'm looking to create a healthy lifestyle for myself that will hopefully influence those around me.

Also because I'm in a relationship, and I believe you cannot truly love someone if you do not love yourself first. I would like for this relationship to go somewhere, but I know it can't until I fix somethings within myself.

And finally, I believe accomplishing this will help me not only improve my life, but enjoy it at the same time. This will give me the strength to make all kinds of tough decisions! I will develope the courage to complete any task, as well as the determination to fuel any drive. I'm tired of missing out on things because of my various flaws, both mentally and physically. I'm sick of just going through the motions of life.

Me? I want to live! =]

Sounds like you have taken a good hard look at yourself and are willing to make improvements! I love the Nike commercial, "Just do it!". You can do it.

One thing that I really do most of the time is not compare my inside or outside to anyone else. I am unique, I am special, I am me. Not better or less than anyone. Just me. It sure relieves a lot of stress!
You talking about wanting to lose ten lbs and everyone else thinks you're fine reminded me of that!

Be the best you that you can be! Enjoy each second of life! I do martial arts to stay in the moment. It really helps me focus. Keep searching and you will find the activities that will generate your happiness!
