Well, here I am. Back on the train to start losing weight again. I have a considerable amount to lose but this time I have a better understanding as to why I have failed in the past. Well besides the fact that I started eating like crap again..lol.
I always put my needs on the back burner. Always. My kids, husband, job, friends always always come first. One day I look in mirror and for some reason that day I notice "holy **** how did I get like this" but I don't have time to deal with it. Well, I need to make the time. This will be my struggle.... to take the time for myself.
I am looking for support in making sure I don't "put baby in the corner" again. I realize that I am of no value to my family unless I am valuable to myself.
MFP looks very supportive and accepting. How amazing is that!

I've been fit and I've been fat soooo many times and I always tell myself I never have to get back in shape again. Let's make a pact that this time it's for the rest of our lives; long and healthy!:drinker:0
