Well I survived day one. Even though I was craving a Pepsi, I didn't give in to temptation. So tonight after work I am going to the gym to workout with one of my best friends who is also on a weight loss mission herself.

See at one time in her life she weighed nearly 300 pounds. This weight was put on by stress & low self esteem. But through determination and encouraging words, she managed to lose the weight. The only thing is that when she looks in the mirror she still sees the old her. So I got to thinking...will I do the same??

Nope...nada...I am not!!! Why I say that? Because just as I am determined to get the weight off, I am more determined to embrace the progress that will come with this journey.

So...GYM here I come again..LOL
