Need Support and Motivation

Options
Hello All ... I'm back after a while ... I've come to the realization that I really need to focus on me. My birthday has recently passed and it made me think about a lot of things ... Long story short, I'm taking a year to work on me. When I say that I mean that I am focusing all my energy and goals on me. There are 3 things in that category that are my focus, weightloss, decreasing debt, and building a relationship with God. I have 125 lbs to lose and I might not lose it all in a year, but this time next year I want to be pretty close. I know with hardwork and determination I can do anything. I think by taking this year to focus all on me, I will then be able to make better decisions in areas that I'm uncertain in ...

I will need all your support and motivation ... please add me as a friend and I look forward to getting to know you all.

    Best of luck to you, and keep at it! Sometimes it's hard to focus on yourself. I struggled with that after getting married. My husband is a wonderful man, and he supports me in my fitness/weightloss efforts, but in the beginning I just felt like I had to be wife of the year or something like that. Now I'm discovering that I can still be a pretty fabulous wife (at least, according to him :smile: ), a good step mom, AND pay attention to myself and work toward my goals. It's probably something I should have known all along, but I guess we sometimes forget to be important to ourselves.

    You will get there! You have to do something for YOU. That's so very important. I had to learn that too, and now I refuse to let anything get in my way.
