New Chapter, New Life, New Me...
I've been a member of SparkPeople for some time now. Last year I did really well and lost about twenty-three pounds. I've managed to gain that weight back (with surprisingly little effort, nonetheless!) So, I decided it was time for a change, time for me to close the book on that time and start writing a new chapter. And, that brings me here...to writing this, to restarting the SP program, back to square one where it will all begin...again. I don't come empty-handed, though, as I did ...

I come armed with all that SparkPeople has to offer. And, it has a lot to offer if YOU just let it! I'm beginning to understand the concept of "we are our own worst enemies," that's for sure!
Simply Me ©2011
By: Christy Votaw
I don’t wear high heels
and very seldom a dress.
I hardly ever wear makeup,
and my hair’s usually a mess.
I don’t follow the latest fashions.
I couldn’t even tell you what they are.
I wear something better…
strength, confidence, and smarts.
I’m not a prissy type,
I’m not really a “girly” girl,
But I can promise you this:
There’s no one like me in the world!
I don’t wear a size zero,
but I fit into my own skin.
I am the kind of amazing
that can only come from within.
I’m not a Hollywood diva
or a stunning beauty queen.
I am something more beautiful…
I am simply ME.
I found this on a fellow Sparkers Sparkpage, and I thought it was totally awesome, so I wanted to include it here.
TEN COMMANDMENT FOR PERMANENT FAT REMOVAL
1. Thou shalt honor and believe in thy self.
2. Thou shalt move thy booty, move it and move it some more.
3. Thou shalt never go hungry again. Eat small meals and healthy snacks daily.
4. Thou shalt stock thy fridge with the right stuff. Fruits and veggies of the earth.
5. Thou shalt honestly write it down. If you bite it you must write it.
6. Thou shalt measure and weigh - thyself and thy food.
7. Thou shalt drink enough water to frighten Noah and map out all of the restrooms in the village.
8. Thou shalt not deny thyself a treat or two now and then.
9. Thou shalt not eat out of misery, boredom, anxiety... but should thou indulge, forgive thyself.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's plate.
