Ok friends (and future friends - feel free to add me). If you are like me, being overweight has taken something from you. It could be your self esteem, energy, happiness, whatever. Well, I declare every Tuesday as Take It Back Tuesday. It is a chance for you to reclaim what has been take from you. Just leave a comment stating what you are taking back this week.

I will get it started by taking back my ability to make smart and healthy food choices!

    I played basketball for 10 years when I was 8-18. I loved it and I miss it like crazy. For my take it back Tuesday, I'm taking back my white tank top (wife beater) I used to proudly stroll around in thinking I looked like hot **** after/before basketball games. :) I'm sportin it proudly as we speak! Happy Tuesday!

    I'm taking back my ability to think before (and while!) I eat, rather than mindlessly eating! Thanks for Take It Back Tuesday :)

    I love this!!!!

    I'm taking back my strong, shapely legs. My six pack abs. My muscular arms and toned back. My narrow waist and well proportioned hips. My long, slender neck. AND I'm taking back my collarbone, thank you very much. It's all mine. It's all in there. And I'm well on my way to getting it back.

    Thanks for reminding me why I started on MFP (35 days ago today!). I needed this!

    This is such a great reminder of why we're all here. I was thinking it would be great to have this reminder every week. I think I'll write on my calendar, every Tuesday for the next several weeks, "Take It Back Tuesday."

    Thanks for posting this!

    That was the idea. But it is also the sort of thing I will forget. Great idea to put it on the calendar. Also...glad you read to the bottom of my profile. Lol! Austin is the warm, gooey center of Texas. VERY different than the rest of the state.

    I am taking back responsibility and ownership of my body. The "Oh Well" attitude that I have subscribed to for so many years is out of here!!!!

    I'm taking back accountability & the ability to make smart choices!! It isn't enough anymore to go along with others' bad choices. I need to step up & make the right choice for me!!
