Well, here is where I have to say something charming and witty about myself… and quite honestly right now…. I haven’t really much to say. I am a fat woman - who needs to lose some weight. How much weight you say? It would be a whopping 60 pounds. It really doesn’t seem so bad - does it. I carry it quite well That’s the problem - my body and me… we have a constant fight about what I’m putting in my body. I’ve decided to take control - and learn to eat better, healthier alternatives, and maybe just a little less of the sweet stuff that I soooo much desire (are you listening Chocolate!).

I am in my early 30’s and I have one child. I would like to be more active in my child’s life and I feel that my weight really holds me back. I just don’t have the stamina to go running and jumping and all that fun stuff with my child. I don’t want to be the Mom who sits on the sideline - I want to be apart of it all. So that’s just one reason why I’m kicking myself in the butt to get this party started and lose some weight.

I would like this online journal of sorts to be my motivator - that I have to be honest with myself and the whole darn Inter-webby-thinger-ma-jig… that I’m posting to. I just want to be thinner… healthier… and be able to go to any damn store in the mall and go to the racks and put something on - and it will fit. It’s been over a decade since I’ve been able to do that - a FREAKIN’ DECADE. Not through anyone’s fault but my own, so I’m going to be more proactive, more responsible to myself… and keep repeating that until I believe it. *haha*
