:smile: After all my life putting my needs last, i'm finally beginning to put me first! One day at a time, i'm beginning to work on me and my needs. i have a long long way to go and it's not easy but i'm doing it! I have let everyone and everything control my day so i couldn't get to exercise and or eat late at night. Now i have worked at putting limits as to what i'll let happen in my day, so i can get out of work and get to exercise and home at a reasonable time. I feel more in control of my life and it's direction with every day that passes! they're little steps but steps that make me feel good and empowered not out of control. This Journey just began and times i have had weak times that i felt the old me coming back BUT i noticed it right away and put a stop to it. So far i lost 39 pounds out of 120 that i need to lose but this is a life long journay and commitment!

    one day at a time is all anyone can to, if you mess up today let it go and wake up to a new day tomorrow. Ignore the past and stop day dreaming about the future. Ask yourself what can you do now to make today a healthy day!
    |Keep it up

    Way to go! I too have let everyone elses needs stop me from taking time for me until now. I get up early in the morning and head to the gym and it makes my day SO much better. I like seeing everyone's stories on here, they are so motivational :-)
