Hello (and I have no idea who I am saying hello to :)
I was scanning through "Yahoo News" and came across an article about a woman who reached her weight loss goal with the support of all of you SparkPeople. Of course I could relate to the need to lose the weight and all the emotions that go along with knowing/feeling overweight, but what really hit home with me was her comment about getting a life of her own. I always say exactly that: "I need to get a life". What I know I mean is that I need to put me first and invest the time and energy into living healthy. This is not who am supposed to me (I hide, I am embarrassed and ashamed of how I look). As they say, today is the first day of the rest of your life. I will do this. Please help, although I am not sure what that means to either of us. Well, there is my truth (perhaps too much information, but my truth none the less) and the intro to my new beginning. It felt good.
