This is a journey and a lifestyle..not a race or a short jaunt.

This is the beginning of my journey. A journey in retrospect I wish I had begun sooner, but better late than never. I am a wife and a mom, a daughter, a sister and an aunt. I have wonderful support in my family and I want to be healthy for them as much as for myself. My husband tells me I am beautiful but I don't believe it and on this journey I want to learn to love me.

~I am learning to love myself and accept me for all that I am and all that I can be ....

~I am learning that there is no food whose taste is worth not living life as healthy as it can be….

~I am learning to honor myself by choosing to be lean, strong and healthy….

~I am learning that there are no magic pills to losing weight….

~I am learning that diets don't work – but a plan, commitment and exercise will…

~I am learning that I have value and worth-- regardless of what I weigh...

~I am learning that I no longer need to hide away and isolate myself from the world ...

~I am learning that this prison of shame and guilt that I have built is my own creation and only I have the power to tear it down….

~I am learning to take personal responsibility for every bite of food that I put into my mouth….

~I am learning that I can acknowledge myself in ways other than eating…

~I am learning to admit that I am fat and unhealthy because I chose to overeat and I chose foods that were unhealthy and fattening…

~I am learning to enjoy exercise and looking forward to it each morning…

~I am learning that I am not a failure even though I have “failed” in the past….

~I am learning that I am never, ever alone ...

~I am learning to love and accept myself…

~I am learning that it in loving and accepting me, I can love and accept others…

~I am learning that I am truly worth it….

This road will be hard at times but I know I can do it. This time it will be different!

Philippians 4:13 (New King James Version)
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
