Alcohol / Accountability
So - I've posted about this topic in the past & am doing so again. I had a horrible surgery 14 months ago & am now getting ready for another. Open chest type stuff - no good.

However - I have decided to just accept that I did it & let it go. Today I am going to eat right & tonight I am going to the gym. No more sliding!!

Ready!
I am finally ready to make a very positive change in my life. Well - several positive changes. But the biggest is to lose weight. I've supposedly been trying to lose weight for years & have only gained. This is it! Would appreciate any and all encouragement!
