I guarantee to give you a laugh...

Yes, my life is chaotic, insane and many have said that knowing me has made them feel a whole lot better about their own lives!
I've been on a diet for exactly 1.5hrs every Monday for the last few years. I realised it was time to really do something about it when my daughters stuck up about 30 posters around the house saying 'obesity is a major health hazard' and 'you're going to die mum!'. Subtle little darlings aren't they?
So, here I am. I need friends, lots of em....the sort who'll kick me to the far right-hand side of that ticker, slidey, weight thing. In turn, I will nag, encourage and boot you along to your goals. I NEVER want to have to tell my kids 'I'm dieting on Monday' ever again. I want them to be proud of me...Hell, I want to be proud of me!

    1.5 hours on Yadnom.... sounds about right - LOL :D

    (and Yadnom = Monday backwards, because doesn't Monday always feel backwards anyways?)
  • I'm new to this, last Monday in fact and it's the first time I've ever wrote anything on a message board! I'm not super overweight but have gained and lost the same 15 pounds about 4 times each year for the last 6 years. That alone is exhausting. A very active yo-yo!! My advice is to check out the web of Fat, sick and nearly dead about the guy who juiced his way to health. I think the site is Reboot .com. We make a fruit and veg. juice for breakfast every morning and it's filling! Th key is eating as much real whole food as possible. Then I realize how much junk is out there calling my name!! Good luck day by day, you deserve to feel great!
