I'm half way to my goal! Go Me! I can't believe I got off my lazy behind and did it! Now it doesn't seem like that big a deal, to make the change. I wouldn't go back to my old life style if you PAID me! xD For the first time, I can look at a mirror, I can look at a camera, I see my reflection in the doors as I walk into various stores (not that I shop a lot), and ever time I see my reflection, unless my hair is doing it's Medusa impression, I see how far I've come.
