Losing it to Win it!

I am going to lose it this time. ALL of it. Why is it that I easily lose my keys, the water bill and the appointment notice for a doctors visit, but the one thing I can't seem to lose it the extra weight? LOL! I finally came to the point where I realized that I cannot afford to wait another day, month, year to lose the weight. The time is now.

 I have been overweight ever since my last baby gave up the boob in favor of sippy cups. (Not blaming them, just saying that breastfeeding WAS my weight loss program for nearly 12 years.) Slowly the weight piled on. I'm a stress eater and an emotional eater. Something to celebrate? Great! Ice cream and brownies! Sad and depressed? Lasagne and big white Italian bread. Not healthy for either my body or my emotions. I "knew" that deep down I had a bigger problem than just the numbers on the scale indicated.

There are lots of thoughts, ideas and plans that I want to share

  • How I got to where I am now.
  • What the plan is.
  • Where I'm going.
On my blog I plan on sharing with you my discoveries, the struggles, the victories both big and small.  I'm not a weight loss expert or medical person. I'm just a thin person struggling to break out of this fat person's body. For my health, my relationships, my work, my family.
For me.

I am going to lose it.
