I came on here in January and decided to make a profile thinking I would jump right in and head off into the sunset ready to make it all happen!  Well, let’s just say that is not the case!  I may of road off into the sunset but some cookies, fast food, and chips detoured me!

February was when I finally put my foot down and said that enough was enough!  I started my journey February 24, weighing in at 277 big ole full of cellulite lbs!

Here it is April 22, 2 days shy of 2 months!  I feel great!  I have lost a nice amount of weight, and I know I am only going to lose more! 

I am an emotional eater!  When I am sad, food has always comforted me!  When I am happy, well guess what?  Food helped me celebrate!  All the wonderful fast foods were waving me down, the cokes we calling for me in the coolers, and all the other goodies seemed to know me by name as well!  My body and the health of it all was pushed to the side and ignored!  Well, I can honestly say, my body and I are working on our friendship!  She has ALWAYS been there for me, and now it is time to let her shine, and pay attention to her loyalty!  The former “bad” friends, well I no longer notice them, and I think they could care less………….after all, they have made plenty of new friends who are buying all the crap they speak!

I never realized just how much “extra baggage” really weighs you down (excuse the pun)!  Even after the first 5 lbs, I could tell I had lost some weight!  It was as though my body forgave me!  She gave me a bit more energy to walk a little longer, or just wake up in the morning feeling just a little bit better!

As I continue to rekindle the friendship I have regained with my body, I will keep you posted!  I can only hope you also become friends with your body as well in the meantime.
