The Last Beginning

dixie395

How many times have I said, "This is it, the last time." Well, I really mean it this time. I am not a spring chicken anymore (going on 57 this December) and I know that I cannot keep this weight on and continue this life the way it is. I don't want to be a burden on my children, and I am tired of standing to one side and watching others do the things I used to do. I want to be able to play with my grandchildren (if I ever am blessed with any) and I want to feel good about myself again. I want to enjoy shopping for clothes, family reunions, boating and hiking again. I want to be able to tie my shoes without turning red in the face and wear something with a waist again.

I have used divorce, finances, living along, stress, and boredom be my excuses for so long. Well, no longer. Today is the beginning...I say this after eating two doughnuts and feeling miserable. I am going to share the good, the bad and the ugly (and believe me, when I put these first pics up it is gonna be pretty ugly).


So if I can help to encourage you, let me know, and please feel free to encourage me. The walk is going to be slow and long, but the future will hold great things.
