The time is now. I'm tired of my weight being an issue. It's holding me back, limiting me, and keeping me locked in this place of self-doubt.
I feel that something is shifting within me -- a change for the better.
I have a long road ahead, but I've already taken the first step of the journey. Even though I have a supportive husband, I'm looking to Spark for additional encouragement through other members. It's up to me.
I have the power. I CAN DO THIS!

Hi Doreen! Thanks for the goodie! So glad to see you back!! Everyday is a new day to make a positive change. I have been sliding a bit in the last few weeks, I have been travelling for work and it's so hard to eat and drink what I should when I have to pay for every single thing. Glad to see you are here and sparking on!!

Hi, working on myself is never ending. I am care giving 24/7 10 months now. I have gained and not feeling good. So I am changing how I think about food. At least trying. Hard to change but I know I would feel a lot better. I set in on a vegan class and was amazed that everyone with health problems were doing so much better and feeling so much younger. the two sitting next to me had been on insulin for over 27 years and now is off and controlling their diabetes with there diet (vegan) and exercise. They are following a book called How Not To Die. I have the book but what I really need is vegan recipes, tried and true. I had a banana, unsweetened cocoa sprinkle on it with pecans for breakfast. We are having salad with mixed greens, tomato's, cucumber, celery, avocado, nuts, and the juice of one lime, Himalayan salt and organic pepper. yummy. Also cook asparagus. Have a wonderful Week and hoping all is going well. V
