################# My Personal Motto: "MY CHOICE" (explained in blog dated 3-11-2010) 1-7-08: Hello, and welcome to my Spark Page. Ever since I can remember, I have been overweight. I never remember a time in my life that was not shadowed or overshadowed by weight issues. Even when I was a decent weight for a year or two of my life, I did not know it, and therefore, did not enjoy it. Join me in this journey and we will run the race together, cheering each other over the finish line; but we won't quit once we cross that line. Instead, we will keep on going, maintaining what we have accomplished and becoming healthier each day, becoming a WHOLE person. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **************************************** ~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~ Jillian Michaels - Smart tip You have 1 true obligation, that's to contribute your best you to the world.Visualize what you want out of life & think big.
