When I signed up for sparkpeople I was at 169, since then I have gained 3lbs. First I thought that I would get discourage but I'm not. I'm not b/c I haven't done anything to keep from gaining the weight. This year I hae recommitted myself to me. I've spent so much of my life pleasing others and not looking out for me. With high bld pressure and diabetes and not taking care of myself has really made me think. Everyday I pray and ask God to keep me and not let me die. I want to live and in order to do that I must start taking care of myself. I have a plan now and with God on my side I'm gonna achieve my goal. Please pray for me and send encouraging words.
