I have confirmed my date for June 25th and I'm mixed emotional. Part of me is excited, part of me is afraid. If I hear "why" I'm more time I think I will scream. No one needs to know, but me. I have my reason I want to keep it off. I have yo yo'd long enough. Don't they realize that is bad for your heart. I love me, more than anyone else. It is time to start being just that. I'm excited about next year, where I will be physically, mentally, and spiritually. I'm looking for a personal trainer, within my budget who will be in it for the long haul. Won't insult my intelligence. My children have began lifestyle changes at home. Its best for all of us. I must be the example for others to follow. I will. Here on this day I start MY journey. It's my time, I plan on walking into my season.

A Season for Everything

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up....

-- Ecclesiastes 3: 1-3 (KJV)

Excellelent! This is about you!! Just close your ears to negativity and begin your life anew!!! You go girl!! Deanna

Good luck to you! You're going to do great since you're already searching for a trainer...and I'm glad to hear you're trying to change the family's bad habits, too!

Try not to focus on the scary aspects and concentrate on making your recovery as EASY and stress-free as possible.

BTW, I didn't tell hardly anyone either--I waited until people started noticing the weight loss to tell them. It's fun to see their reaction.
