Can I get a **Woot, Woot!!**

LOL...so sorry, I had to do it. I was reading all the wonderful success stories here and it hit me I am not giving credit where credit is due. And knowing that I troll the succes stories for inspiration, I am adding mine.

I began my MFP journey July 2, 2012 ((The serious journey. Before July 2nd, I'd put my shoes on, but I hadn't yet gotten off the couch. I've been a member longer than that.))

So...July 2nd I was busting out of size 24. Today I went to Cato to get a new outfit to wear as 2nd shooter photographer for a wedding because my clothes are getting schlumpy. Is that a word? **shrugs** It is NOW.

I grabbed size 18/20 today, sorta hoping they weren't too tight. ((Pants and top.)) I put them on and...((cue angelic harp music and shine a ray of light down!)) They not only fit, they fit in a relaxed fit kinda way. I am sooooo happy!!!! I can't believe that I have been so diligent and dedicated. But I couldn't do it without my MFP's!!

Forgiveness. Geeze, that is the key. And eating less and exercising more. I crave fruits and veggies now. I crave working out. I only drink water now. ((Okay, rarely I will have a soda, and coffee in the morning- duh, that's a given. And I will drink on average, 12 cups of water a day. Probably more, but that's the low average.))

Prayer. Lots of prayer and asking for patience, strength and guidance as I mend all the damage I have done to the only body my God gave me in this wonderful gift of life.

B&A pics will come later. Tonight, I smile as I fall asleep. Certain I do NOT EVER want to be a 24 again. E.V.E.R.

Good night and Good Weekend to all! God Bless....
