A Fresh Start

"... without darkness, nothing comes to birth.
As without light, nothing flowers." -May Sarton






Well today im starting fresh. I have been putting it off long enough. Two surgeries have passed along with starting on birth control and several rounds of steroids, and of course totally letting go of any kind of diet. This has made me gain a tremendous amount of weight in the last 6 months and i have finally had enough. i have let myself go and i am more unhappy with myself than i have ever been in my life. I have become sedentary, depressed, and just overall unhappy and i dont want to continue this way anymore. i know i can do anything i set my mind to and i alone can control this. i am determined to make the changes in my life that will last a lifetime and i start today!! No more excuses, no more laying in the bed, no more giving up and giving in to temptation and complacency. Its time to change!!! I did this to me and i can change it!! I will do it for myself alone and regain my life, to enjoy what i used to and feel like my normal self again. i want to live the life i envision and today starts my journey. Starting weight is 196. Goal wieght is 140. i have 56 pounds to lose. LETS GO!!!!
